East Boldre Neighbourhood Watch

Also in this Section

This page is NOT a replacement for the Neighbourhood Watch Service and residents should not rely on this page for urgent information.

Local Neighbourhood Watch Bulletins are no longer delivered door to door. Important NW issues are circulated as part of the East Boldre and Beyond Newsletter which is delivered by e-mail. You can read the latest newsletter and subscribe to the newsletter here.

Neighbourhood Watch plays an important part in making our community safer.

Working together with the police it increases public awareness of the need for security, reduces the fear of crime and brings a community closer together enhancing the quality of life of all residents. As well as getting information from the local police about crime in this area, it also relies on providing good intelligence to the police from observant residents.

Communication in this way keeps NW active in creating safer neighbourhoods. With the current neighbourhood policing initiatives in Hampshire, NW is an even more vital link in the chain of preventing crime.

East Boldre and the neighbouring villages of East End and Norleywood have active neighbourhood watch schemes.

East Boldre has a Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator and two street co-ordinators.

They are:

Don’t become the victim of a scam.

Modern con-men still occasionally knock on doors and spin you a convincing yarn but more often they use the telephone, the Internet and the postal service to work their scams. Read more on our ScamBuster Page.

Warning

Rogue Traders are currently cold calling on the telephone and at the doorstep in the Andover, Havant and surrounding areas of Hampshire offering to supply unsuitable mobility goods, stair lifts, adapted showers and beds at vastly inflated prices. In some cases customers have been left with the impression that the trader is from Social Services at Hampshire County Council which is certainly not the case.
