Neighbourhood champions

The Neighbourhood Champions scheme is a network of volunteers throughout Harrow whose role is to inform us about everyday street-level nuisances such as litter, graffiti, fly-tipping and broken street lamps that they see in their own streets. It's a joint initiative between Harrow Council and the Metropolitan Police.

Although the council and Police spend a great deal of time on street cleaning, street nuisance issues and anti-social behaviour,  the reality is,  they can't be everywhere all of the time.

This scheme is about getting the community involved to help highlight street level issues so something positive can be done about them; it's not about spying or informing on neighbours and other residents. 

The Neighbourhood Champions scheme is  very much an enhancement of Harrow's very successful Neighbourhood Watch Scheme except with additional focus on local environment issues. 

The scheme is initially launching with the recruitment of Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinators, and will be extended in Spring 2010, when all residents will be invited to join. In the meantime, please register your interest by completing the apply online form and we will contact you in the Spring with further details.

If you are a Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator please also complete the form and you will be contacted in the New Year.
