About 9 News 9 Festive Community Safety Event – St James Quarter, Edinburgh

Neighbourhood Watch Scotland (NWS) had a fantastic day in Edinburgh today, where they joined colleagues from the Scottish Fire and Rescue Service and Police Scotland Edinburgh for a Festive Community Safety Event at St James Quarter.

During the event, the team got the chance to speak to shoppers and staff providing helpful information and advice around various topics including fire safety, personal safety, theft, and scams.

It was great to hear from people who were already part of a Neighbourhood Watch and see the interest in Neighbourhood Alert, which is free and helps keep communities informed and connected.

A huge thank you to St James Quarter for allowing us to hold the event and to the wonderful Security and Guest Services staff for all their assistance.
