Residents' support for roadshow

Scores of people took time out to get tips and advice as they did their shopping at Tescos in Borehamwood this week.

On Tuesday and Wednesday the Hertsmere Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership staffed a display stand to give advice on a range of issues such as home and personal safety, fire safety and crime reduction.

Val Kane, the Borough Council's Community Safety Officer, said: "The two days were very successful. We've had a number of people register their interest in Neighbourhood Watch schemes and home fire safety checks and take up the opportunity to get items of their property security marked for free."
