ARE we making the most of helping by helping ourselves through participation in a local Neighbourhood (Home) Watch scheme? West Bay Home Watch, for which I am the co-ordinator, recently held a fruitful meeting boosted by the welcome attendance of a member of Bridport Police, but we need more members.

Those joining a local scheme can be effortlessly kept informed of local and national police alerts as well as readily raise any particular concerns of their own.

I would like to urge readers to look online at ourwatch.org.uk – type in their postcode and take it from there.
