About Fleet & District Neighbourhood Watch

Neighbourhood Watch groups are run within communities by local volunteer Coordinators. Local Neighbourhood Watch schemes work in a variety of ways that reflect the needs of the local community. Hart is a low crime area, but houses still get burgled, cars stolen and garden sheds get broken into. Front doors and back doors get left unlocked or a laptop is left in a car in full view for the opportunist thief. This is where Neighbourhood Watch can act as a reminder for us all not to let our guard down at any time. Fleet & District NHW has some 2,000 households as members. NHW members can make a difference to the security of the local area by reporting what they see. Fleet & District Neighbourhood Watch covers Fleet and Church Crookham, Crookham Village, Ewshot, Winchfield, Dogmersfield and Crondall.
