How are street shemes set up in practice?

Potential schemes are proposed by The Kettering District NHW Liaison Officer, Residents or the local police-led Safer Community Teams
The Liaison Officer then targets the homes in the proposed scheme(s) by letter drops. Priority is given to areas recognised as crime hotspots.
Should the response be considered positive enough, the Liaison Officer sets up a meeting in a suitable venue close to the proposed scheme.
The Liaison Officer addresses the meeting usually with a member of the relevant Safer Community Team and, where possible, a Street Co-ordinator from a nearby scheme
During the meeting, should residents wish to proceed, a Street Co-ordinator is appointed
The scheme is officially set up when the Street Co-ordinator’s and other details are registered with the local police, and NHW signs are erected at both ends of the street.
The police then have the Street Co-ordinator as a contact for passing on messages and warnings about local crimes.
All members receive a Welcome Pack giving up-to-date crime prevention measures and NHW stickers for display on doors and windows.
They also receive contact details for their own Street Co-ordinator, and for Jane Calcott, the Kettering District NHW Liaison Officer, as well as for their relevant Safer Community Team.
For new schemes (August 2010 onwards) the Street Co-ordinator is the only holder of the names, addresses, telephone nos. and, where relevant, the e-mail addresses, for the scheme's members.

Anyone wanting to set up or enquire about a scheme in their own street should first contact Jane Calcott on 101 Extn 4800.
