The Area Administrator for new or existing Neighbourhood Watch Groups in North East Lincolnshire is Karl Elliott, based at local charity VANEL (Voluntary Action North East Lincolnshire).
Neighbourhood Watch is supported locally through VANEL’s National Lottery funded Neighbourhood Networking programme. The website www.nelwatch.org.uk contains information and support for both Neighbourhood Watch groups as well as any other local, resident led neighbourhood focused groups.
Some of the more specific programmes for the area include:
Allotment Watch. The equivalent to Neighbourhood Watch for Allotments!
Park Watch. Again, a community/resident led approach to parks and open spaces.
Fraudwatch sessions. Funded through ERVAS, VANEL is delivering scams/fraud talks across North East Lincolnshire to support residents and communities.
KOPS (Keeping Older People Safe). A general programme across North East Lincolnshire led by VANEL to help bring together advice around safety and security for older people. Funded variously through the Community Safety Partnership; Big Local North Cleethorpes; Awards for All; Crime Reduction Fund and others.
