If you are interested and have a few hours to spare, please contact PCSO Jan Sparkes on 101 or by email via her link on this page. She will offer advice and support whenever she can to all schemes. For information on starting a scheme link to Neighbourhood Watch.

Horse Watch (Ivelchester beat)
The Avon and Somerset Horse Watch scheme is a crime prevention initiative advising on measures such as the security of livery yards and the marking of horses, ponies and all associated tack, trailers and boxes. For information on Horse Watch and/or if you wish to arrange a tack marking session please contact PCSO Jan Sparkes on 101 or via her link on this page.
