MOVES are under way to set up a town-wide Neighbourhood Watch scheme in the Ferryhill area.
The scheme, which will also include Chilton, West Cornforth and Bishop Middleham, follows the successful introduction of a similar town-wide group in Sedgefield village.
The initiative is being led by the Sedgefield Burglary Action Group, part of the Sedgefield Borough Community Safety Partnership.
The partnership includes representatives from the police, Sedgefield Borough Council, Three Rivers Housing, Disc, Victim Support and the youth offending team.
