Sta Venera council has relaunched the neighbourhood watch scheme, dividing the locality into 11 sections.

Residents are being invited for a meeting at the council's administrative centre on Sunday at 10.30 a.m.

A neighbourhood watch scheme was operated in St Venera some years ago and crime went down by a third, the council said.

The council has also launched a voluntary support group to assist victims of crime, made up of doctors, social workers, lawyers, priests and handymen.

The group will be working hand in hand with the police.
