Safer Spondon is running a SmartWater project at a greatly reduced price for Spondon Residents.
SmartWater is a liquid that contains a unique code (similar to DNA coding) which can be read under ultraviolet light. When applied to valuables the unique code can be identified by the police and traced back to its owner. Statistically it has been proven that estates/areas covered by Smartwater Projects experience a vastly reduced crime rate.
Making Spondon a safer place to live by preventing and reducing crime and the fear of crime is the reason Safer Spondon was set up as a local community group and this ambitious project to make Spondon a SmartWater Village is being driven by them. With funding from the Neighbourhood Board Safer Spondon is working with Spondon Neighbourhood Watch Groups and the Police Safer Neighbourhood Team to deliver the project.
Smartwater is now being made available to Spondon residents at a remarkable price of £20, less than a third of the market price. One payment covers your property for life and one SmartWater kit will cover the average four bedroomed property and its contents. The project aims to be sustainable but affordable. After the launch at the Spondon Neighbourhood Watch meeting initial sales have been very encouraging.
One local resident who attended the recent meeting said: "The presentation from Smartwater was very professional and showed how good the product is. Afterwards there was a question and answer session and all questions raised were answered professionally.
"The NHW/Safer Spondon meeting organisers are wanting to expand the use of the product in Spondon and if numbers are significant they will arrange large signs on the lampposts on entry to Spondon to make people aware that it is being used within the village - as a deterrent.
"The display showed active police officers around the country stating that reductions in burglaries was from 65% to 100% dependent on the area concerned. It does appear to be very effective and is good value for money."
