Appeal for Residents help with Anti Crime Campaign inTuebrook and Stoneycroft

Dear Neighbours
 
From tomorrow and over the next 6 months we hope to reach over 3000 local homes and provide significant anti crime kits free of charge
 
From our ward allocation we have purchased £6000 of anti crime kits to distribute
 
Part of the kit will include a device which will switch your home lights on and off when you are away e.g. holiday
 
The second part will be a smart water marker.
 
 By putting your house number, followed by post code on all valuables, e.g. TV, bikes, DVD act. It will mean if stolen the goods can be traced back to you, it will help police catch the criminals.
 
Most importantly by aiming to get virtually every household in the district marked up by this invisible ink. We will have a real deterrent to prevent crime in the first place.
 
The smart water pens in a kit will actually mark up 6 homes
 
We are therefore asking you if you would look after 6 homes, your own plus five friends or neighbours in the Tuebrook/ Stoneycroft Ward
 
If you are up for helping out. Please e mail your name and home address and the five addresses you will look after. (at tuebrookhope@hotmail.co.uk)
 
We are approaching dozens of community groups and churches to help this campaign so we can roll out the 3000 kits with maximum speed
 
We have already done a presentation to the Tuebrook Hope Centre seniors Group and Tuebrook Line Dancers. If you have a community group we could speak to about the scheme, please let me know.
 
Having secured a large number of houses through groups and contacts such as yourselves,we will then individually knock outstanding households (thus why we need keep a list of homes assisted)
 
Over the last five years we have made tremendous efforts to drive down crime, this will be a major initiative not seen in any other district
 
Over and above this we as local councillors have requested again this year £45,000 is spent to purchase extra police patrols in the area
 

We are sure everyone will rally round and this effort will help build up a real sense of neighbourhood confidence, its a great opportunity to invite new residents join in.
 
Warmest regards
 
Steve, Chris and Hazel
