TWO new Neighbourhood Watch groups will be launched this week as police look to bring members of the community together to tackle problems in their area.
The two new groups – both in Bridge ward – will give residents a chance to discuss their concerns and keep each other informed about any problems in their respective neighbourhoods.
The first meeting of the group covering St Anthony's Avenue and St Barnabas Road will be held at Woodbridge High School, Mallards Road, on Tuesday February 2 at 7pm.
The second group, which covers the West Grove area, will be meet at the Scout Hall, West Grove, on Thursday February 4 at 7pm.
A Metropolitan Police spokeswoman said: “Neighbourhood Watch is about creating communities that care, it brings neighbours together and can makes a real contribution in improving their lives.
“It creates community spirit and a belief that the community can work together to tackle problems.”
