Beach Haven and Birkdale Community Watch

  Beach Haven & Birkdale Community Watch is pleased to announce that our website is up and running. This one contains updates about our activities and safety news related to our Community. It is possible to get in touch with us, join in, donate and learn more about our group using this site. Please, share the address with all your neighbours. Together we care.

  Thanks to the donations we got from our generous neighbours, we've been able to buy a first set of petrol vouchers.   This is not just an essential help to keep our patrol cars running, but a valuable token of trust. We greatly appreciate our Community members support, but we also acknowledge the responsibility involved. We will be out there, patrolling to make our neighbourhood safer. Thanks.   Together we care.

  An online survey, aimed to know how crime is affecting our Community, was created by our local MP. Please, take a few minutes to fill it out, it would help to identify the issues so the authorities can assign resources to sort them out.

      Police will maintain an increased presence in the Beach Haven area to provide reassurance to residents amid unease following a recent drive by shooting. “We understand the community’s concern and our increased visibility is part of our commitment to ensuring everyone is safe and feels safe,” says Area Commander Inspector Stefan Sagar. There has been considerable work and effort over the last week to investigate the shooting in order to hold those responsible to account. If members of the public have any information that can help the investigation, please contact Police by calling 105 or anonymously via Crime Stoppers on 0800 555 111.

  We're still out there, patrolling our area. We do this because we feel that our presence is dissuasory for those that want to commit a crime in our neighborhood. Criminals don't want to be seen while going, doing or being coming back from their "bussinesses". We still need more volunteers to give a better coverage to our Community. Please, get in touch with us if you can invest 2 hours of your time improving the safety of your neighbours.
