Neighbourhood Watch is a community-run
independent charity covering around 100,000 households in Sussex. Eastbourne Neighbourhood Watch currently has 456 schemes across the Borough and covers 14,419 homes. We are always looking to increase our numbers as there are over 47,000 homes in Eastbourne in all and, in an ideal world, they would all be members of a Neighbourhood Watch Scheme. https://www.facebook.com/groups/Eastbourne.Neighbourhood.Watch
Winding Up of Sovereign Harbour Neighbourhood Panel. In Novermber 2020, after much consideration, I wrote to the Sovereign Harbour Neighbourhood Panel members informing them that I was standing down as Chair. I requested they let me know if any one of them wished to replace me as Chair and, if not, then to please vote on whether or not we should wind up the Neighbourhood Panel in accordance with its Constitution. Regrettably, no one felt they could take on the Chairmanship and, in the circumstances, the Members voted unanimously in favour of winding up the Panel.
