Watch schemes

There are a variety of Watch schemes operating across Cheshire which allow you to get involved in your local community or help to tackle issues which you are passionate about.

These include:

Caravan Watch

Caravan Watch gives residents the opportunity to raise and share their concerns about crime or anti-social behaviour at caravan parks. The scheme encourages people to look after each other and report suspicious things to the police or coordinators.

Home Watch

Cheshire has good reason to be very proud of Home Watch. It is one of the county’s most successful exports. The initiative began its life in Britain in the village of Mollington, near Chester, in 1982. It soon spread around the country, adopting the name Neighbourhood Watch in some areas.
