The National StreetSafe tool has been live for a while now (we first talked about it here). It’s well supported across our area by Humberside Police and other partners, and as it’s ASB Awareness Week, this is a very good time to bring it to your attention again. It’s a tool that anyone can use […]
ASB is a national priority. Recent polling by YouGov for Resolve found that more than one third (35%) of the UK public had experienced an increase in ASB in their local area, with just 1% believing that the problem had ‘decreased a lot’. ASB is not a low-level crime, it devastates communities and has a […]

Every year or two, we ask questions of our local Neighbourhood Watch Groups (or similar types of community group) to find out how things are going. Once again I’ve put a simple survey together (here) and I’d be very grateful if you could complete the survey. It doesn’t have to be completed by the coordinator […]

The West Marsh Allotment Association based at Littlecoates Allotments in the West Marsh now have their brand new signs up showing that they are an Allotment Watch. After getting setup as a Neighbourhood Watch Group, it seemed more appropriate over time to re-brand as an Allotment Watch due to the more specific nature of their […]
