Neighbourhood Watch

The Neighbourhood Watch Scheme (NHW) has been in operation for a number of years and includes Broadway and Penny Long Lane early in 2009. This is one of many NHW schemes operating in the area.

The NHW Scheme is a method of communication between the Police and the Residents to address and reduce the risk of criminal activities and anti-social behaviour. We do this by passing on the Monthly Police Beat Reports, the Community Matters News Sheets and any Alerts that the police deem appropriate to the residents via the Street Coordinators. The residents in turn pass on their concerns and knowledge of any suspicious events or criminal activities to the police via the Street Coordinators and myself for comments or clarification.

To maximise the effectiveness the police have set up Safer Neighbourhood Teams with our team based at Derby Police HQ, St Mary's Wharf. Their priorities for our area include:-

School and University parking.

Contravention of parking restrictions.

Dangerous parking.

Grass verge parking.

Anti-social behaviour and drugs in the church grounds.

Auto crime.

Street Drinking and Litter in and around the Darley
