Its also a good chance to get to know your neighbours. We are all here to help one another! Here in Birkby and Fartown we are running a pilot scheme called the landlords and tenants working group which is a sub group of the Community Safety Partnership Management Group. If you would like to be part of this group please contact Deryck, Annie or Mehboob on the contact list overleaf. Bill Swap is the anti social behaviour officer for the Council and he is working closely with this group to ensure that any problems between neighbours, in particular those in private tenancies are dealt with. This group works together to try to either sort out the issues or evict those that are causing the nuisance. If you need to contact Bill Swap his telephone number is 01484 414798 We are all aware of the problems of drug dealing in our area, and some of us are already actively reporting those responsible. In order for the police to act they need us to report each instance. They would like details of who they are (car registration? Description), what, when and where. It is very important that whilst gaining this information you do not put yourself at risk. Watch in secret and record the information. Do not confront! Do not be disheartened if it seems nothing is being done about you reporting these issues. Drug dealing is taken very seriously by the police and a lot of work concerning drugs is secret and undercover. Record all your information and call CRIMESTOPPERS 0800 555 111 For useful telephone numbers and a summary of crimes in May

A few words from a co-ordinator Neighbour hood watch is not only a way of actively reducing crime. It also helps bring the community together, making our streets a safer place for us and our children. Crime in an area affects many things, Houses are more difficult to sell, insurance for both houses and cars rises, and you cannot feel safe. One individual cannot make a difference, but as a group we can reduce crime by attending the meetings and reporting everything you see.
