LOCAL NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEMES
Neighbourhood Watch is not just about helping to reduce burglary and anti social behaviour. It's about creating caring communities. It brings local people together to help tackle issues and can make a real contribution to improving lives.
Eaglesfield Park Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
The Eaglesfield Park Neighbourhood Watch Scheme (EPNWS) was launched in January 2006, servicing the safety and security needs of 248 households in: Cleanthus Road and Cleanthus Close, Eaglesfield Road, Foxcroft Road and part of Shooters Hill.
The scheme is supported by the Metropolitan Police, and the local Shooters Hill Safer Neighbourhoods Police Team. The fundamental mission of the scheme is People Helping People. The success of the scheme is founded on the strong and effective partnerships built and maintained with the Police, Greenwich Council, Ward Councillors, local businesses, social groups and residents.
The scheme has a team of dedicated co-ordinators who are responsible for communicating, liaising and working with residents in an allocated 'patch'. If you are interested in becoming a co-ordinator, or would like to know more, contact Jenny and Graham Penn by email at: epnws@hotmail.co.uk

The Kenilworth Gardens Neighbourhood Watch Scheme was originally formed in 1995 and run by resident Keith Iles from 1998 to September 2010.
In October 2010 Stephen Harvey took over the role as Principal Co-ordinator and is keen to get to know his fellow friends and neighbours living in the 61 households.
Red Lion Lane Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
The Red Lion Lane Neighbourhood Watch Scheme was formed in June 2009 for residents living in Red Lion Lane and Constitution Rise.

Shrewsbury Park Neighbourhood Watch Scheme
The Shrewsbury Park Neighbourhood Watch Scheme was formed in the 1990s, when it was felt necessary to be more vigilant in daily life. The scheme is represented at the Police Safer Neighbourhood Team Committee Meetings by Len Newland, the scheme's Principal Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator. The scheme is supported by the Metropolitan Police, and our local Shooters Hill Safer Neighbourhood Police Team.
The Shrewsbury Park Neighbourhood Watch on the Laing Estate is in the fortunate position of being part of Shrewsbury Park Residents Association and is fully funded by residents’ annual subscriptions to the Association. The Laing Estate comprises 266 houses built in 1936/38 in Bushmoor Crescent, Kinlet Road, Mereworth Drive, Ashridge Crescent plus 22 houses on the Shrewsbury Park side of Plum Lane. The Estate was built on land originally part of the grounds of Shrewsbury House, the House now being a community centre partly funded by Greenwich Council but run by volunteers.
