The transfer of this account to the new one set up by BT has started and will continue for several weeks.  29/06/2010

 

At the request of our members we are not only redoing our website but we are producing a newsletter to run in conjuction with it.

 

** As of yesterday 5th May 2010 the service provider for this website will be changing as BT is chaning over to a new service. We will keep all our members updated and informed as the changes come into force.

 

As a further result of this, our website will remain under construction for a longer period than initially planned for. The links on the website will all remain active as will all the contact details. If you require any further information please contact us via the contact details below.

Holywell and District Neighbourhood Watch (HDNW) is a very active voluntary organisation. We are here to help any one in North Flintshire. If we cannot help then we know some one that can. Our main areas of operation are:

1) Sign posting you to the best agency to help you with your problem. We are in contact with many of the leading organisations and can support you in your dealings with them.

2) We are actively helping to try and reduce crime and the fear of crime in our communities.

3) Attendance at community events giving information to members of the public.

4) Undertaking all our own fundraising to make sure we can continue to undertake our role within the community. we do not receive any funding at present.

5) Actively assisting in target hardening after some one has been a victim of crime or is in fear of becoming a victim of crime. This includes fitting a wide range of security products. All the items are normally supplied free of charge and fitting is free. All the products supplied by us are manafactured by one of the countries leading security products suppliers based in Flintshire. CCTV system loan, download and servicing of equipment owned by householders. In addition to this we now offer a downloading service.

6) Helping other agencies when and where neccessary.

HDNW meets on the second Tuesday of the month. See our current calendar for the venues of the meetings. We alternate between The Strand Community House and Holywell Town Council Offices. 

An Officer from North Wales Police is normally in attendance, and is there to offer some help and advice. There is also a representative from  North Wales Victim Support present and ready to speak to you, in total confidence.

Mobile Grafitti Boards.

The boards were designed and built specifically for this purpose, as the direct response to a suggestion made to the team by a young person who lived in Holywell.

 

We had to build them from scratch as we searched the internet for ideas on how to do them without success.

 

They are made of a metal A frame which holds sheets of ply, on both sides which can be easily removed. They can be folded up for easy of transportation and storage.

 

They will be sited in three specific areas of Holywell where the young people can turn up and show us their talents. A competition will be run later on in the year and it is hoped that it will be well attended.

 

More information to do with where they will be sited and when will be advertised on this site and in the local papers.

North Flintshire - Community Action Team.
Are members of the organisation who go out and fit target hardening equipment in the houses of people who have been victims of crime. It is a free service, totally confidential, and although we normally only work in victims houses we can also do reassurance work if there are people in your community who are living in fear of crime.

 

The equipment is normally supplied free of charge, subject to certain criteria, and all fitting work by our experienced fitters is free. At present, Feb 2010 we are working on submitting a grant so that we can gain some extra funding. If you are aware of or have been a victim of crime yourself please contact us to see what we can do to help.

 

CCTV

A service to victims of crime. We are now loaning and fitting CCTV sytems in  people's houses. Do you feel you will benefit,  our systems are loaned to you on a short term basis, with full support from ourselves. 

 

Please note all information gathered from the equipment is your property, we will not collect, retain or store any information from it. The retention of this is your responsibility.

 

Do you have your own CCTV system and need a download, we can help you to do this. We can transfer from VCR tape and DVR systems to CD disc or tape. Ehich ever you prefer. This is a free service but we would ask for a small donation to cover out of pocket expenses.

 

Data Protection

We do not keep any other personal information, or pass any other information on to other organisations without your written consent. All information is stored and protected under the Holywell and District Neighbourhood Watch Data Protection policy and a copy of this is available upon request..

 

Security Equipment

We only use full approved equipment supplied by a local firm who are fully acredited in the supply of this type of equipment to organisations such as the Police.
