Burton Joyce now and once again has an operational Neighbourhood Watch scheme.
This new initiative is a true community initiative it is NOT associated with any local administration - Parish Council, LA Council or the County Council. HOWEVER it does have the support of the South Nottinghamshire Police .

"OWNED and RUN by its volunteers"
On Saturday the 19th of June the residents involved in this new initiative organised an OPEN DAY at the Carnarvon Rooms in the village centre. This event was a resounding success - much of the pre-event publicity being kindly provided by numerous local busineesses and individuals .
