Welcome to Kew Riverside Neighbourhood Watch

We have a Neighbourhood Watch scheme up here. The first estate wide meeting was held at Kew Riverside School on Tuesday 17th June 2008 at 7.30pm.

We have NW coordinators for the estate - help is always appreciated - so please contact Paul Griffith on paul_e_griffith@yahoo.co.uk (please note that Paul is on the residents association & this is an unpaid role)

Advice for keeping safe

Windows

• When you are going out - please lock windows & remove the keys.
• Keep ground floor and first floor windows locked at night (opportunists strike when the weather is warm).

Visitors

• If you are not expecting a visitor - use the spy hole / video entry phone to see who is there first. Use the chain on your door. Ask for ID if necessary.

Bicycles

• Please use a strong 'D' shape lock. Mark your bike with your postcode in ultraviolet pen or attend police bike marking sessions. Remove the front wheel and store inside your home.
• Ensure your bike is covered on your home contents insurance.

Cars

• Do not leave your car keys within 1 metre of your front door . Thieves can reach through letterboxes with extendable rods - hook keys & steal cars.
• Do not leave any valuable items on display - such as sat navs, mobile phones, laptops, wallets, handbags etc.

Suspicious Behaviour

• If you see any suspicious behaviour - please call the Police first & then the Gate House. The Concierges are just concierges - they are not security guards.

Please note that Kew Riverside in NOT a secure or gated developement. There is pedestrian public access to the Thames. In the event of an emergency always dial 999 for all other calls to the Metropolitan Police Service please dial 0300 123 1212.
