Neighbourhood Watch:

Many of you may be aware of Neighbourhood Watch and the benefits such a programme can offer.

Neighbourhood Watch supports individuals and groups to create safer, stronger and more active communities.

We are very lucky that Howden resident, Matt Sharp, has volunteered to become a Neighbourhood Watch Lead Coordinator for our town and to show our support for this scheme, Howden Town Council have also registered with East Riding of Yorkshire Council Neighbourhood Watch.

We already have some areas covered by our long-standing Neighbourhood Watch Coordinators, however if you would like further information and / or would like to register your street then please contact Maureen Yates, the Crime Resilience Officer for East Riding of Yorkshire Council on 01482 396380 or via email at Maureen.yates@eastriding.gov.uk

Let’s support each other and get involved …


Each year Town and Parish Councils must set a budget, this forms the Town/Parish Council contribution on your Council Tax bill. 
At Howden Town Council we have a grants programme that forms part of this budget setting and we open applications to all community groups/charities across Howden.
At January's Full Council meeting, it was agreed that we would support a large and wide-ranging number of applications to support these groups who are investing their time and efforts to make Howden a better place.
The following was agreed:

 

HomeStart - £3894 towards a family outreach programme
HOWDEN LIVE - £2569 to support the Month of Sundays concert programme and towards new sound equipment
Howden Show - £2470 towards the Community Tent and shuttle bus on show day
HOWDEN VINTAGE DAY - £2,000 towards the 2026 event
SHAKE Howden - £3,000 towards the 2026 Picnic in the Park
1st Howden Scouts - £10,000 towards their new Minibus project
