The new Bankeyfields neighbourhood watch


Just before Christmas, we posted on this site asking for volunteers to be part
of the neighbourhood watch. 

After a sit down, we decided on a few priorities that we thought we could
tackle over the next few months. Obviously we can't think and cover
everything, so we would like your suggestions (and your help), so here are a
few items that we thought we could look into. 


Priorities

  • Open Space - To work on ways to tackle the anti-social behaviour,
    and vandalism occurring on the open space
    and especially the park.
  • Road Adoption - No one has yet to take responsibility of our roads
    yet.
  • Reginald Mitchell Way/Roundabout - To try and get the council to
    listen to our concerns in regards the dangers of pulling off and onto the
    estate.
  • It's your Neighbourhood Watch - Because we have this website, we
    can deliver in real time, or within a day or too, all information
    presented to us (except for this posting as it's taken nearly a month -
    blimming Christmas). Agendas, minutes, meeting dates, alerts, things
    to discuss will all be posted onto the site. That way the NHW isn't just a
    small body of people, it's everyone on the estate helping to make life
    better or easier. This way the Bankeyfields Neighbourhood Watch group can
    be as transparent as possible.
  • Regular News Alerts - as we create
    more relationships we the NHW team will be posting News Alerts
    onto the site, as and when they come in. This doesn't stop everyone from
    posting, though as we aren't omni present. We need everyone to do their
    bit.
  • Build on the partnerships with Glynn Talbot (PC), Richard Farrier
    (PSCO), Joan Walley (MP), SFRS (Staffordshire Fire and
    Rescue Service - they'll be our new next door neighbours in a year or
    two).
  • Raise awareness of the NHW and the Bankeyfields Website. This site
    is a valuable resource that all members of the estate are
    welcome to post on. It's primary goal is to build a community of people,
    who don't want to just flag problems but want to get to know
    their neighbours and feel apart of something. As part of this
    awareness we'll be starting up a new Newsletter service, that will get
    posted every now and then, in the attempt that we can a) inform and Cool get
    people on this site and help with tasks at hand and to make those
    important decisions that affect all of you.

Oops - sorry

Sorry Gordon, habit, it still doesn't seem natural calling you Gordy, even though I've met you a few times.

I'll edit my post and make it clear.

NHW MEETING

To all Bankeyfield residents we will be holding the New Bankeyfields NHW meeting at The Rifleman Pub Acres Nook on Tuesday 3rd February at 8 pm. Please make your best efforts to attend. The agenda will be pretty much as WM has put on the first post in this forum although Popeye will be updating shortly. It is your community and the more you put into it the more you will get out of it.We will be needing more co ordinators to help us out.
