                                                          Residents Association Voting 2022

With the declaration of COVID-19 as a pandemic, I put my efforts to prevent the spreading of the new virus strain. Thus, I feel that online voting is the best way to protect our local community at this present time. I also acknowledge that not everyone within Strawberry Fields maybe internet ready or on social media. Your help to spread the word about this vote amongst SF residents is vital. Those wishing to post a response can do at 31 Firecracker Drive; all postal votes will be subject to a quarantine period of seven days. The closing date is February 28th. Regards, Paul

NNW Update August 2019

Dear all,

Following on from a post many months back about our NHW status whereby our scheme had been approved by Hampshire Constabulary, I am delighted to share with you the next phase of this approval.

Today I received our official welcome pack along with leaflets containing valuable information pertaining to property security and that of our local community.

There are also twenty official NHW window stickers up for grabs if you sign up to our scheme, either via the our Facebook page where you will find a signup button or via https://www.ourwatch.org.uk/ simply add your postcode and search for Strawberry Fields.

I hope to apply for more of these stickers once the demand is there, so if you miss out this time please rest assured I am on the case for obtaining more.

 Conditions:

- Residents must live within the Taylor Wimpey – Bovis Homes development referred to as Strawberry Fields.

- Properties must be registered to our scheme via links provided and approved by myself.

- One sticker per household or block of flats.

- As per advice received, stickers should be placed on ground floor windows in line of sight.

 As work continues on our NHW Scheme the next items to be addressed will be:

- NHW Street signs.

- A venue for meetings, I anticipate no more than twice a year.

- NHW meetings with our Neighbourhood Policing team at times that we can all attend.

- Greater engagement with our local councillors and Chamonix regarding speed signs within the development.

- Reaching out and connecting with established NHW schemes within the western wards.

Regards,

Paul Selby | Strawberry Fields | HNW

The Big Lunch Picnic

 

The Big Lunch is a very simple idea from the Eden Project. The aim is to get as many people as possible across the whole of the UK to have lunch with their neighbours in a simple act of community, friendship and fun. Last year it happened on Sunday 3rd June and a record number of people took take part in the Jubilee celebrations. Why not be one of them this year?

A Big Lunch can be anything from a few neighbours getting together in the garden or on the street, to a full blown party with food, music and decoration that quite literally stops the traffic.

Since starting in 2009, thousands of Big Lunches have taken place in all kinds of communities across the UK and the best part of a million people get involved each year.

            This year we celebrated our 2nd Big Lunch on Sunday 3rd June from 1pm-5pm.

Why Join a  NHW Scheme?

Neighbourhood Watch schemes play a vital part in preventing crime, and statistics show that you are less likely to be burgled if you belong to an active Home Watch scheme. You may also receive a reduction in the cost of your house insurance.

By joining your local Neighbourhood Watch scheme you can feel more secure knowing that you and your neighbours are keeping an eye on each other’s property.
Getting together with your neighbours can prevent crime and well-run schemes have a big impact on reducing the opportunities for crime.    
Home Watch can play a big part in reassuring those who live in fear of crime.
Home Watch can rekindle community spirit and is a great way to get to know your neighbours.

FUTURE PLAN

As the scheme attracts more members, a request for NHW signs will be submitted to Fareham Council. The scheme coordinator will also seek a deputy as per the guidelines set out for NHW schemes. If you are interested please use the social media links below to get in touch.
