Neighbourhood Watch

This is a long established voluntary organisation where neighbours get together to reduce crime and make their area a safer and better place to live, work and play.

Effective schemes work in partnership with police and other agencies. Sharing information about crime trends, bogus callers, anti-social behaviour or vandalism and details on personal and property security and local initiatives help members take precautions. Through vigilance, watch schemes obtain and provide useful information to the police. North Yorkshire Police uses the Ringmaster email distribution system to share information.

Flaxby's neighbourhood watch coordinators are:

Bob Hearld (864524) and Buck White (860353) responsible for:
York Road from Station  House up to Herons Keep, and from South Edge up to Malham (19 in all)

Trevor Cook (869538) responsible for:
The Grange, plus numbers 1 - 9 The Grange (ten in all)

When the old school room is occupied it will be added to this patch.

Would residents kindly phone their patch rep with their email address so information, police notices etc can be passed on. Any untoward or suspicious activity should be reported to your patch rep, and to the police as appropriate. The number for non-urgent calls is 101, and for urgent calls 999.
