In our most recent Newsletter we made mention of the fact that there were probably other websites out there with links to us and that we wouldn’t necessarily know about them. Well, just when I thought that maybe that wasn’t the case at all I get a very nice email from the Chair of Newbury South West Neighbourhood Action Group, Angela Money, saying that they’ve been linking to us for ages!
So, without any further delay you will now find that SW Newbury NAG has become our 107th linking partner website – great stuff!
What’s a NAG, I hear you mutter?
I take the answer straight off their website:
Neighbourhood Action Group (NAG), Police And Community Together (PACT) and Neighbourhood Action Panels (NAP or NAPs) - herein referred to as NAGs/PACTs/NAPs, are multi-agency problem-solving bodies in the UK which are focused on tackling the top priorities as identified by their communities.
NAGs/PACTs/NAPs are made up of volunteer representatives from the community. They bring together organisations and partners like residents, the police, local authorities, businesses and schools and normally meet every 4 to 8 weeks.
They are key to the success of neighbourhood policing. They plan on behalf of the community and organise tasks to be completed. This improves community safety and reassurance and reduces crime, disorder, disproportionate fear of crime, and local traffic issues.
For more information please go to the Neighbourhood Action Website
In the meantime a belated warm welcome to Angela and all at the SW Newbury NAG!
