SheffieldRich 0 #1 Posted May 5, 2021 A NEW NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH SCHEME FOR PARK GRANGE IN S2 I grew up in a village where my family knew all of our neighbours. I’ve lived on Park Grange Mount for over three years now, and I know very few of you. Neighbourhood Watches work to build fellow-feeling among people who live locally, making them feel part of communities. That’s why I’ve started a Neighbourhood Watch Approved Scheme for the streets of newer housing in our patch of S2. These streets include Park Spring Grove, Park Spring Drive, Tower Rise, Frank Wright Close, Beeches Drive, Beeches Bank, Roberts Close, Eyre Crescent, Park Grange Drive, Park Grange Mount, Park Grange Rise, Park Grange Court and Park Grange View. If you have a local problem that needs solving, just get in touch with me using my contact details on the left. To receive updates on local issues and events, visit the ‘blog’ section of the website and sign-up for emails. To be part of the local conversation, join the Group Chat via your smartphone using the Signal app: Signal is like WhatsApp, only Signal doesn’t sell your data. Looking forward to hearing from you, Richard Rawlings (Co-Ordinator) Park Grange Neighbours Together www.parkgrange.uk Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

SheffieldRich 0 #3 Posted May 5, 2021 Hey. Thanks for the reply! I personally se it as primarily community-building and secondarily crime-reduction, though obviously priorities will be decided by the group of participants that emerges. Thanks for the encouragement though! Glad to hear your group was successful. Richard. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Your e newsletter could be sent by PDF over WhatsApp and you could canvass neighbours for their contact details to join the group. Happy organising!

katekate 15 #10 Posted May 7, 2021 S2 has its ups and downs like every other area. A lot of the downs are due to lack of community spirit in my opinion as things have changed a lot since all the neighbours knew each other etc. I think it's great that someone is trying to make things better and try and get the community back together. Let's not knock it until he's tried it! Shame you're not in S14 or I would have joined you myself! Good luck. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

No, it hasn't. It's no worse than many other areas of the city, as the link I posted shows. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
