Ryde’s Safer Neighbourhoods Team has joined forces with local residents, to create ten new Neighbourhood Watch schemes.
It follows visits to the town by mobile police officers and specials. Sergeant Terry Clarkson said, “We believe more Neighbourhood Watch schemes sharing crime prevention advice can be powerful deterrents.” The new Neighbourhood Watch schemes cover Hope Road and Circular Road, Mary Rose Avenue, Wykeham Close, Firestone Glade, Salters Road, Swanmore Road, Jellicoe Road, Pitts Lane, and High Park Road.
