Yeadon & Rawdon Neighbourhood Watch Association. Informing on local crime & giving tips on prevention Reduce the fear of crime.

Neighbourhood Watch (NHW) is both a philosophy and an approach to working together as a community to reduce crime and enhance community safety. By working together, neighbours can assist each other to reduce crime in their area. This can make your neighbourhood a safer place to live, reduce the fear of crime in your area, and improve lifestyle by sharing responsibilities and caring for others. YAR

N relies on our community and the Police working together in a partnership. Our Objectives are to:
Minimise the incidence of preventable crime. Deter criminal activity by increasing the probability of apprehension. Increase the reporting of crime and suspicious behaviour. Improve the degree of personal and household security through education. Expand the program's involvement in wider community safety and crime prevention initiatives. Our Strategies are:
Keeping residents informed: Providing information of the incidence of crime in Rawdon and Yeadon on a regular basis through our 'real time' community blog, and newsletters. We also advise how to effectively identify suspicious people and activity and report same. Increasing residents' awareness and knowledge: Informing residents of practical personal and household security enables them to best secure their homes and increase their personal safety. Sign posting areas: Displaying Neighbourhood Watch signs and material operates as a visible deterrent to criminal activity by identifying a particular area as having active Neighbourhood Watch participants. We also encourage the community to become actively involved in Neighbourhood Watch. If you would like to find out more you can contact us by messaging this page, or any of the following details:

🚓 Yeadon Tarn – 28/04/26

Officers seized a Surron at Yeadon Tarn following ongoing concerns about public safety. This was the second time the same bike has been seized, and it will now be sent for destruction in line with procedures.

Our priority is keeping parks and shared public spaces safe for pedestrians, families, and other legitimate users. Taking action against repeat offenders helps reduce the risk of injury and ensures everyone can enjoy these areas safely.

Thank you to the community for your continued support and for reporting concerns.
