The residents of Corfe Mullen possess a very specialised knowledge of their immediate neighbourhood that even the proverbial, long lost and lamented ‘village bobby’ would have taken years to acquire. A Police Officer might not even recognise someone in your garden as a stranger, but a neighbour would.
In a nutshell, this is what Corfe Mullen Home Watch is all about.
Some people feel they shouldn’t ring the Police if they see something suspicious going on at a neighbour’s property. They don’t want anyone to think they are being nosey, spying through net curtains at other people’s business.
However, members of Corfe Mullen Home Watch all agree they want each other to be 100% vigilant as far as crime is concerned. If you have the phone number of your neighbour and you ring them at work to check that a removal firm should be clearing out their house, are you interfering or being nosey?
On the contrary, we in Corfe Mullen Home Watch believe the neighbour would be extremely grateful that you are looking out for them. Not long ago, a house in Corfe Mullen was completely stripped of all contents, in broad daylight, while the householder was at work.
