We live in a beautiful neighbourhood. As residents, we have a duty to keep our area safe, so that we can enjoy the tree-lined streets and parks more fully. A group of interested residents established GANW in 2015 - a community driven platform that ensures effective and quick response to criminal activity and ensures that members of the community are empowered with information via Whatsapp groups, and our Facebook page.

The GANW aims to help people protect themselves and their properties, and to reduce the fear of crime by means of active, visible citizen presence, improved home security tips, greater vigilance, accurate reporting of suspicious incidents and crime, and by fostering a community spirit. All these efforts engender a caring community, reducing the opportunities for crime by increasing crime prevention awareness.

If you would like to be part of the GANW, please complete our Membership Form. Once we have received your membership form, we will put you in contact with the Whatsapp admin for your street or block, who will explain the GANW concept and benefits to you.

The GANW relies on voluntary participation of all neighbours who live in the area. There are no criteria and we can all do our bit. So if you are a home owner, tenant, dog walker, retiree, worker, mother or work from home, we would genuinely welcome your involvement. Your daily drive to work, the school run, or just a walk to the local shop can all count as “patrols” – be aware of your surroundings, report suspicious activities, and get to know your neighbours.
