NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH
Did you know East Hanningfield
has an active Neighbourhood Watch organisation?
East Hanningfield is lucky to have a very active NhW organisation. Most of the streets in the village have a NhW coordinator and the NhW team works closely with the local police.
As part of helping to make our village safer from crime it provides information on measures you can take to avoid becoming a victim of crime, in the Village Newsletter (East Hanningfield News), via this website and by sending e-mail crime alerts and reminders to residents about specific issues such bogus callers, suspect telephone calls, burglaries in the area, suspicious vehicle movements etc.
The team also provides NhW stickers for doors and windows, a property marking kit for residents’ use, and maintains the NhW road signs in the village.
