is back!

We've also had a couple of burglaries over the past month in our streets,
and given the deteriorating economic climate, this will probably get
worse.

Although I have been sitting on my hands over the last couple of years, I
remain a member of two Safer Neighbourhood Team ward panels (Hornsey and
Crouch End) and still attend their meetings, and am also (at least
nominally) neighbourhood watch co-ordinator for the Morrsh area.

I intend to try and beef up the neighbourhood watch scheme over the coming
weeks - to remind people that we exist and remind them what they can
usefully do to help deal with these problems. Anyone up for this?
