Most people have heard of Neighbourhood Watch projects, but one town is set to launch a caravan alternative.
The Winsford Guardian revealed that the town is preparing to launch its first Caravan Watch scheme at Winsford Flash’s Lakeside Caravan Park.
It is designed to get mobile home owners to keep an eye on each others’ units, with four people being appointed as co-ordinators.
Their phone numbers will be given to each of the site’s 168 static caravan owners, allowing them to report suspicious behaviour to the co-ordinator, who will liaise with local police.
“To save 20 people calling up about the same thing, the coordinator can take the calls and inform the police,” the park’s assistant manager Tracy Mills told the newspaper.
She added that it also encourages residents to look after one another and gives them the chance to report problems to someone other than the police if they feel it necessary.
Meanwhile, the Great Yarmouth Mercury has revealed that Beaumont Park Caravan Park has asked for permission to rearrange its site, allowing three more caravans to be fitted in.
