Neighbourhood Watch
Marsworth has for many years been part of the nationwide Neighbourhood Watch Scheme.
It is a community led initiative run by Marsworth Villagers to reduce crime, protect ourselves and our property, whilst promoting community well being and a sense of togetherness in association with other partners such as Thames Valley Police, Action Fraud and Trading Standards.

Your role as a member:

- Please report anything suspicious or non urgent to Thames Valley Police on 101 or by email www.thamesvalley.police.uk . If you have any video door bell or CCTV footage include that. Thames Valley Police continuously ask us to report anything that we feel is not right as it helps with their intelligence gathering.
- After reporting any incidence always let your road co-ordinator know, so the information can be cascaded through Marsworth if necessary.
