our neighbourhood watch
Springfield is a great place to live and despite what you read in the papers crime is rarer than we perhaps think. However there are always things you can do to protect your home & possessions and also keep your eyes open for your neighbours. A number of the roads have Neighbourhood Watch co-ordinators who work voluntarily with the local Police to help make this an even safer community.
The Neighbourhood Watch Office hotline is 01245 290261 Information about Neighbourhood watch can be found on the Police 
website. Click here for town Neighbourhood Watch bulletin and Springfield newsletter.
