Then perhaps you should get involved with Leicester Forest East Neighbourhood Watch

Leicester Forest East Parish Council will soon be launching a Neighbourhood Watch scheme, and if you want to help shape how the scheme will be run, now is the time to get involved. We are looking for all types of people all over L.F.E. to join in and tell us what they want from their Neighbourhood Watch and what issues are important to L.F.E. residents.

Even if you’re not the sort of person who usually gets involved with community groups, or you don’t have much free time, we want to hear from you. With so many ways to get in touch, you’ve got no excuse not to!

Being involved could be as simple as keeping an eye out for your neighbours and attending a short meeting every two months. Obviously depending on how much you can spare you could volunteer your time from 2 to 20 hours a month or you could be involved in any or all of the following:

Deliver leaflets occasionally to your immediate neighbours
Host a meeting for the members on your street
Cascade information received to your immediate neighbours
Encourage your neighbours to join the scheme
Display a poster on your property
Offer financial sponsorship to the scheme

Call Julie on 07504697608, text “I LOVE LFE” to 07504697608 or email lfeneighbourhoodwatch@googlemail.com and we'll be happy to send you further information and a membership form.
