PLEASE MAKE A NOTE and put next Sunday morning in your diary.

That’s 1030am to 1pm on Sunday 11th September 2022

That’s when KENILWORTH WATCH’s special event for the town’s residents occurs at the Holiday Inn, The Square, Kenilworth.

In a unique event across Warwickshire, we have lined up some senior security experts who you can talk to, question and discuss your home and vehicles and how best to protect them. One of the reasons we have arranged this event is because we know there is a great deal of confusion around what is the best security to have.

The reality is the answer is unique to each householder, and those at the event can help you determine if you are already covered or, if not, what’s the best solution and what is not worth spending money on. 

There will be demonstrations at the event, which will help residents understand what works well and what is not so good. 

Let us be clear this will NOT be a commercial “selling’ event. Of course if residents attending wish to pursue a service or product, they are free to do so.

Kenilworth’s Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) will also be present and will be offering a free bicycle marking service. It’s also an opportunity to meet some of the town’s police officers. We are volunteers and have arranged this after several residents asked us if we could put something on where they could come and see and hear more about effective security so they could reassure themselves about the right things to do.

We want as many people as possible to come along and meet those we have arranged to have available to the community for advice. 

Thanks to its generosity and support towards the local community, the Holiday Inn, at The Square, Kenilworth will host the event on Sunday 11th September 2022, between 1030am and 1 pm.

We are looking forward to meeting as many of you as possible.
