Residents on Patrol

 

Can you Spare 2 hours a month - if so please read the following:

 

We all like to live in clean and safe areas, and we want our children & grandchildren to be able to play safely. Residents on Patrol is a project where residents actively help to make their areas cleaner and safer.

 

How? Residents have a walk round part of their estate fortnightly, and note down any problems eg broken street lights, graffiti, dumped rubbish including black sacks, insecure houses, overgrown hedges etc, these are reported to the Contact Centre and are dealt with. The project is run by the Council who provide training and support to residents on these walks, and there will be opportunities to meet residents from other areas to exchange ideas.    

                                                                                                                              

The walks can be incorporated into your regular routines, e.g. if you walk to school, walk the dog  community events, classes, bingo, 2 or more could do a report. There is an added bonus, walking is good for your health, and our walkers all enjoy the chat as we walk round.

 

We are looking for people who live in University Ward - to help us. If you would like to know more about this - please call 01642 644396 or 07773 089 892 for more details of how you can help to  improve your neighbourhood.
