A new pilot fund was launched this week to give local people a direct say on how the ill-gotten gains of criminals can be used to benefit their communities.
The £4m Community Cashback scheme will be funded by money and assets seized from wealthy criminal kingpins. The public will be able to choose which worthwhile community projects are funded by feeding in their views to a new dedicated website, neighbourhood policing meetings or through Citizens Panels.
The first Edition of a Neighbourhood Watch Newsletter for West Hinckley in Leicestershire was published during Neighbourhood Watch Week 2009. Linking in with local partners it provides up to date information on for the local community on a range of issues from personal safety to local community initiatives for young people.
