Statistically, Kintore and the surrounding has a very low crime rate, with most crimes being minor/petty offences such as isolated vandalism and graffiti. Nevertheless, there are still benefits from implementing a Neighbourhood Watch scheme, such as reduced household insurance premiums.  Around April 2006, we shall organise a large meeting in a public hall with members of the local police to establish one of more Neighbourhood Watch schemes in the area. Full details will be provided in our Spring newsletter

We are currently in process of developing a website for the residents association. As well as publishing newsletters, minutes of meetings etc, the website will be used to promote our fantastic community spirit. With details of events, organisations, local history, things to see and do etc.  We will also have a wealth of information of local interest on the site such as details and availability of local childminders, links to bus and train timetables, school holidays, local council departments, opening hours and  contact details for local businesses etc.  (more…)
