Barham Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch Logo

The Neighbourhood Watch Movement is one of the largest voluntary organisations in the UK.   Barham is part of the Canterbury and District Neighbourhood Watch Association, which was Registered as a Charity in 1999. Close liaison with Canterbury Police is maintained.

The main aim of Neighbourhood Watch is to improve the quality of life of all citizens by helping to reduce crime and the fear of crime.   It is also associated with reducing vandalism, graffiti and anti-social activities generally.   In Barham the emphasis is on the reduction of crime, as happily the village does not suffer from vandalism at the moment.

All Barham residents can play a part  by remaining vigilant, taking notes of any suspected crime observed, or of any suspicious happenings, and immediately contacting Canterbury Police on 01227 762055.

A crime observed actually in progress must be reported  to the Police on 999 immediately.  If any vehicles are involved, record the registration number, and a description.   Later, the details should be passed to the Barham Coordinator, Dick  Bailey, on 01227 831275.

A very important source of local crime information is available to residents with e-mail facilities.   To enable these regular Police Crime Reports to reach into all parts of the village, you can opt to receive e-mails to pass any relevant information on to neighbours and friends.   If you would like to be added to the Coordinator's Barham Residents List then either telephone .Dick  Bailey, on 01227 831275 or email him by clicking on this text.

It is important to remember that it is not only in the village that Neighbourhood Watch matters.   Farms and houses away from the village are also part of our area and might well benefit from early advice of rural crime.

Neighbourhood Watch can also give advice on many aspects of property security, from dwellings to personal matters.  Contact the Barham Coordinator to discuss way in which you may improve security, to find out more about the movement - or perhaps pass on new ideas about crime prevention.
