The aim of Eastling's Neighbourhood Watch Scheme is to help you and your neighbours avoid becoming victims of crime.

The local voluntary co-ordinator and link persons will do their best to let residents know about criminal activity in our area and neighbouring parishes. The free e-mail alerts scheme also provides vital information.

Residents can help by keeping a wary eye out for suspicious activity and always reporting it to the local Neighbourhood Watch and, if it looks serious, to the Police or Swale Neighbourhood Watch office.

Simple precautions that householders can take to protect themselves and their property are featured on this website and advice is available from the Eastling and Swale Neighbourhood Watch groups. And remember taking an active part in Neighbourhood Watch will qualify you for a discount on household insurance premiums with many companies.

Remember - Neighbourhood Watch works best when people are vigilant and share information.
