Chairman: Mrs Sylvia Fricker

We are always actively seeking Street Co-ordinators, to both compliment those we already have, plus for new street cover, as there are still quite a few village streets that are not in a scheme. If your street isn't in a scheme and you think you could give a little of your time to the role of a street co-ordinator then please contact us through the library at the address above or by email at minster_nhw@yahoo.co.uk for a sign up form

Not sure if you are in a scheme? Check to see if you have a NHW sign on at least 1 lampost in your street. If there isn't one, there is a good possibility that your street is not covered by the NHW scheme. Still unsure then please, contact us and we will let you know.

One of the benefits of being in a scheme is that some house insurers give a discount on premiums to those who are, however if you have stated on you policy application that you are in a scheme when actually you aren't, then some insurers have been known not to pay out in the event of a claim. Insurance Companies DO check this with the police when a claim is made.

As a co-ordinator you will receive information from the Police by either phone or e-mail (you decide) which if relevant to your area should by some means be passed on to your neighbours. You can commit to as much or as little as you are prepared to do, nobody is expected to cover more than around 20 properties (10 either side of your property) unless you wish to, or even less than this if you prefer.
You do not have to visit all of your neighbours personally, some of our co-ordinators put the information in their living room window or on a noticeboard in their garden, others produce flyers, on their computers or by hand, and pop them through their neighbours letterboxes.

Not sure if you are interested, contact Sylvia at above address or by email at
