The last few months have been a challenge to say the least. After attending several meetings with our new partners, Rugby Borough Council, the Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnership and the Police, we hope to bring the new Neighbourhood Watch back to what it should be.

To create safer neighbourhoods throughout the borough, this includes the rural areas of the borough, working with the council and the police, we can achieve more and attract more funding for signs and of course Smartwater. Also through CAPS messaging, be aware of the criminal activities within our own areas.

The PCSO's which patrol your areas are more than willing to help you in anyway they can. In the near future, I hope to attend one of your local meetings and meet you all personally, in the summer we hope to hold meet and greet days, where you can come and have informal chats with the rest of the Executives.

Our office is not manned full time but if you have a question or a request, please leave a message on the answer machine with your request, not forgetting to leave a contact number and I will get in touch as soon as possible.

Once again, thank you for all your support and I hope to meet you all very soon.
