2023 MEMBERSHIP VOLUNTARY CONTRIBUTIONS
After due consideration by the committee, it was agreed that the contributions to your NHW (HRF Members Crimewatch) for 2023 will be R740. This is an increase of just over 7%. Our suppliers (mainly Allsound) have indicated that their fees in 2023 will increase by 7% and current government inflation figures are roughly the same.
Please pay R740 as soon as you are able to the usual accoun, R370 now and R370 in July is also acceptable.

Proof of payment by email to Rob Jackson at Robjackk@aol.com,

Please note that this is the NHW Crimewatch account and is completely separate from the newly formed HRF Residents Association. Your contributions will only be used for support of our CCTV camera system and associated NHW costs. A 2023 NHW budget is available should you wish to see it.
2022 CRIME STATISTICS
In 2022 up until the end of October, there have been 17 House Burglaries in our area. This compares with around 20 per month in 2016 before we upgraded our NHW and installed our CCTV camera system to complement patrolling. The majority of our security issues are in Fisherhaven where we continue to work with residents to improve the situation.
HOLIDAY PERIOD SECURITY IN KNYSNA
It was stressed during a recent Knysna Security Partner meeting that all the Knysna security services will be overstretched during the Christmas holiday period. The SAPS Station Commander has asked that Neighbourhood Watches play a more active support role. Our role will still only be “eyes and ears” and more details will be in our Holiday Security Advice newsletter.
