Police Hints - three golden rules to prevent crime!

  1. TIME - Make a criminal take more time to commit the offence. Use locks, bolts, fences.

  2. NOISE - Make sure entry to your property will result in noise. Consider Burglar alarms and lock windows.

  3. CONSPICUOUS - Make the criminal (or the stolen property) conspicuous. Mark your property with a post code. Install lighting with movement detectors.

    Follow these rules and the Police are confident that you will significantly reduce the likelihood of your property being burgled. The criminal will take the easy option and go elsewhere!

The Henfield Parish Website has won this award - November 2000 Henfield is a pleasant rural village in West Sussex, England with around 2,300 dwellings, 5,000 residents of which about 4,000 are adults elegible to vote. The village has retained a vibrant centre with a wide selection of shops, restaurants, pubs & commerce. The Parish Council is run from an office in the Henfield Hall. The full council meets once a month - there are several committees which meet from bi-weekly to three-monthly depending on the nature of their work. The public are welcomed at all formal meetings; the Council welcomes your input during open forum which is part of each meeting. On this site you should find lots of information about the Council, the Councillors and Council related work. The Council is keen to improve communication with residents and we hope this site helps with this process. We have received a Golden Web award for the design of our site.

This website is being provided by your Parish Council (who are unpaid) and will not place any additional burden on the precept (other than provision of internet access which is required by the Council office anyway).
