Maybury and Sheerwater Neighbourhood Watch Facebook Group
The Maybury and Sheerwater Neighbourhood Watch group is a local group on Facebook for all residents of Maybury and Sheerwater. The aim is to provide information for keeping residents safe online and for residents to be alerted to and share information about local crime issues. For example, they have been able to put out lots of information about the latest scams. Forewarned is forearmed!
Together we can have safer communities and help to lower crime by looking out for each other and creating an inclusive, friendly environment where neighbours feel safe and connected.
Anyone and everyone are welcome to join and contribute to the group. It is a closed group for the safety of the members. Please ask your friends and neighbours to join this new group: the more of us join, the more effective we will be! Find us by searching for ‘Maybury and Sheerwater Neighbourhood Watch’ in Facebook, or use the link shown above.
