Neighbourhood Watch is a valued voluntary grass-root movement with its strength in building strong communities, preventing crime and working to support community resilience and community spirit.
The aim of the Neighbourhood Watch Network is to bring neighbours together to create strong, friendly, active communities where crime and Anti-Social behaviour are less likely to happen.
Schemes are run by volunteers and supported by volunteer associations and the Neighbourhood Watch Network, the national umbrella organisation for the movement.
The Tameside Community Partnership believes that Neighbourhood Watch promotes active citizenship and creates safer, stronger active communities within our borough where people want to live.
In Tameside, the Community Safety Partnership includes representation from the local authority, Tameside MBC (TMBC), Greater Manchester Police (GMP) Greater Manchester Fire and Rescue Service (GMFRS), Health, Probation and Youth Justice, voluntary, community sector organisations, and housing providers. The CSP meets on a monthly basis and is jointly chaired by the Council and GMP. In order to identify priorities and develop strategies, the CSP will analyse a wide range of information collected by GMP and other organisations as well as consulting with key stakeholders and communities.
The Tameside Community Safety Partnership has one overriding objective – to make Tameside a safer place to live, study, work and visit.
The work of the Community Safety Partnership places emphasis on working with residents, partners and communities to improve safety across the borough.
