The important action for both existing members and any new members who may wish to join the scheme, is that each day the radio should be turned on and members call in and identify their business on the scheme, so that the system is "live" across the membership and any problems or observations are heard by everybody tuned in.

Members are calling in and the scheme is operated via the CCTV Office in Havant, so if anything suspicious is seen, members are immediately able to ask for the CCTV cameras to view the exterior of their premises or where the incident is taking place, and the Police can immediately be aware of what is being reported.

If action is required, the Police can deal with it, knowing that co-ordination and awareness is taking place throughout Havant Town Centre. This is the key action for the scheme's success.

Havant Borough Council pays for the radio licence for the scheme and members have to pay for a radio, charger and replacement batteries. If you are interested, contact either Peter Hammond or Jeff Crate, by telephoning
