Watton Neighbourhood
The Watton Neighbourhood covers the Breckland market town of Watton and surrounding villages, ranging from Saham Toney in the West to Scoulton in the East and from Ovington in the North to Breckles in the South.
Current priorities for Watton Neighbourhood
1. Lovell Gardens. The play park has been suffering from the congregation of youths, which may well have been dissipated from the town centre, they have been very rowdy causing minor damage and drinking alcohol.
2. Watton East. To tackle criminal damage in Watton. The east end of Watton is suffering from excess amounts of criminal damage, with car windows being broken along with the jumping on cars.
3. Tom Turley Close. Motor cycles in particular are driving up and down the road at speed and at high revs causing noise pollution, they are also been ridden by persons under the age of having a licence and also with no helmets.

Crime Mapping
Norfolk Constabulary has introduced crime maps so you can see the levels of crime where you live. In comparison with most other police services, Norfolk records very low levels of crime. The crime is categorised on a map of Norfolk according to burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, anti-social behaviour and all crime. Simply type in your postcode or click on the map to see the levels of crime in your district and ward. The maps are updated monthly and compare recorded crime over the previous year. You can see if crime has increased or decreased where you live and what type of crime has the greatest impact in terms of volume. To see your crime map follow the link below.
