Expanding The Watch

Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators met on July 10th. Items from the discussions included:

Establishing the Watch in new housing areas.

Further progress has been made in this area with new Co-ordinators coming forward.

  • An additional 2 Co-ordinators have come forward in The Grange. It is felt that there are now sufficient in that area.
  • St Lytham’s Park has 1 additional Co-ordinator making 2 in all. This area would benefit from more Co-ordinators.

 

If you live in St Lytham’s Park and are interested in helping to deter crime in your locality, would you consider becoming a Co-ordinator? If so, please contact our Secretary/Treasurer Jackie Gauci on 07876 207843 or jackie.gauci47@gmail.com

Reports from Co-ordinators

  • There are many other Watch groups in the Vale, brought together by the Vale of Glamorgan Neighbourhood Watch Committee. It was noted that the Wenvoe Watch is the most active with cover over the whole village.
  • Lead has been stolen from part of the church roof. You may have noticed scaffolding around some of the church; this is a replacement non-lead roofing.
  • There have been two unsuccessful attempts to break in to a property in The Grange. Police attended and local Co-ordinators are aware of the incident.
  • There have been reports of dog attacks in the village. Residents are asked to keep their dogs under control or safely enclosed.
  • To mark their 50th year South Wales Police arranged visits to the Public Service Centre at their headquarters in Bridgend. This is where 999 and 101 calls to the police come in and are acted upon. Three Wenvoe Co-ordinators went and were impressed by the commitment of the staff and the liaison with Fire and Ambulance services, both of whom have staff at the Call Centre.
