Park Watch Scheme

What is a Park Watch Scheme?

Similar to Neighbourhood Watch schemes, the Park Watch scheme aims to protect Bury's parks from vandalism and improve safety and security. Bury Metro's Park Ranger Service, the Community Safety Service and the Police work in partnership to encourage park users and residents to assist with looking after their local park .

Why do we need a Park Watch Scheme?

A Park Watch Scheme can help to ensure that a park is safe for children to play in and for all the community to use. Park users and people overlooking parks should report any vandalism or anti-social behaviour that they witness so that the Police can build-up a profile of anti-social activity in an area. Reporting vandalism also helps Bury Council make sure that any damage to parks is repaired as quickly as possible.

If you see it - report it!

To report damage, graffiti, dog mess and broken glass contact the Parks and Countryside Service.

To report anti-social behaviour, vandalism, under age drinking, drug taking or drug dealing and motor cycles contact our emergency team.
