Neighbourhood Watch Scotland had a fantastic time at the Doors Open Day event at the Museum of Scottish Fire Heritage & McDonald Road Community Fire Station, Edinburgh today.
A huge thanks to our partners at Scottish Fire and Rescue Service (SFRS) who invited us along and to the 2500 members of the public who attended.
Thank you to the Rotary Club of Pitlochry for inviting Neighbourhood Watch Scotland to provide a presentation last night. We received a very warm welcome and were able to share details about our Neighbourhood Alert system and how the information shared can be of benefit to those living in our communities. It was a pleasure to meet you all.
We had a great time yesterday speaking to members of the Winchburgh Developments Trust 'Companions Group' at Abercorn Court about Neighbourhood Watch Scotland, what it involved and how it could help them in the community.
It is a busy time of year for our farmers. They contribute so much to the fabric of rural communities, not to mention feeding us!
Clearing up the mess left by illegal, inconsiderate, fly tippers should not be part of their job description.
