Milnrow and Newhey Resident Watch Minutes: Dave and Gill gave the following Street Watch updates: · The group has been given free travel on Metrolink between stops in the areas that they cover. The Metrolink MD joined volunteers on a patrol recently to see first-hand what they do. He is a great advocate of the scheme. · Since patrolling the Metrolink stops, very little ASB has been witnessed. This situation could be due to recent weather conditions. It is a welcome and positive reduction. · Following the recent incident near St James Church, two Street Watch patrols were out in the area to be a visible presence and to reassure the community and help them feel safe. · 5,000 leaflets have now been distributed across the area. · Local shops and businesses have agreed to display Street Watch posters. · There are four new members in the process of joining Street Watch. · Dave and Gill are assisting and advising new Street Watch groups. |
