East Cambs NWA (5A)

Getting a new Neighbourhood Watch Scheme underway

Getting Started:

  • Someone in a village/street/defined group of houses decides to start a scheme and become a Coordinator.  If further advise is wanted or assistance with the procedure complete the Pre-Registration Form and send to Mr. K. Evans,11 King Edgar Close, Ely, Cambridgeshire CB61DP He/she sounds out other interested persons in the proposed area                                 
  • The initiator calls a meeting of the interested persons, probably at their own home over a coffee, to discuss the setting up of a scheme. The local community police officer and/or a representative of East Cambridgeshire Neighbourhood Watch Association is invited to the meeting to advise and support.                                                                                                            
  •  It is usual to obtain details of the members within the scheme. This should be done using the Members' Details Form and then kept safely by the coordinator.                                           
  • Complete the NW Registration Form and forward to Mr John Fuller, Cambridgeshire Constabulary, Parkside Police Station, Cambridge CB1 1JB                                                            
  • Obtain and erect a NW Street Sign (see below)                                                                                 
  • If a NW representative was not present at the initial meeting inform the Association via this website.
