Highgate Road Neighbourhood Watch
A friendly, neighbour-led pilot for a safer, more connected street
A friendly, neighbour-led pilot for a safer, more connected street
This page is for residents of Highgate Road who’d like to take part in a local Neighbourhood Watch trial. The goal is simple: stay connected, share useful information, and look out for one another — without unnecessary alarm or noise.
A private WhatsApp community where neighbours can share notices, keep each other informed, and feel reassured that people nearby are paying attention.
Neighbourhood Watch schemes are known to reduce opportunistic crime simply through awareness, communication, and visibility.
Streets with active Neighbourhood Watch schemes are often viewed as lower risk by insurers, which can positively influence premiums and claims history.
Getting to know neighbours builds trust, helps support vulnerable residents, and strengthens the sense of community on the street.
This is a pilot for Highgate Road. If it works well, the same simple model could be offered to other nearby streets, helping form a network of small, hyper-local neighbourhood groups across Whitstable, Kent.
