This third report
reflects on progress made on these objectives and to look to future work
planned or required to further achieve our objectives.
Support local coordinators and others involved in
neigbourhood watch
Progress this year
1. Coordinators’ meeting was
cancelled due to lack of support
2. Currently, the number of houses
covered is 3,889 out of a total of over 16,000 giving 24% coverage but within
the district the coverage ranges from 59% on the Malling estate in Lewes to
7% in Wivelsfield. Each month we distribute 2,300 paper copies of the
newsletter, the rest going by email.

Review
the annual coordinators’ meeting
Help recruit new members and establish new schemes
Progress this year

The
association had a stand at the Lewes Societies Fair on 11 July 2008

We had
a stall at the front of Lewes Leisure Centre for the week 15-20 June 2009
promoting Neighbourhood Watch. This proved not to be very successful.
3. We increased the number of
coordinators by 12 and the number of houses covered by over 300
4. On Saturday18th July we spent the
morning recruiting coordinators in Ringmer to great success
Further work
1. Identify areas in the district
which need further support to recruit members and coordinators
2. We will reconsider where to carry
out promotional work in the future
Liaise with the police
Progress this year
1. The search team was called out
twice this year and on one occasion found the missing person, unfortunately
he was dead. Further training was undertaken and the number of trained
volunteers from Neighbourhood Watch is now 103
Further work

The
association needs to continue to work with
PCSOs to keep coordinators involved and informed of local issues
