Nation of good neighbours
26 October 2005 - Barclays With half term holidays upon us and many people planning to go away, Barclays Insurance Services research shows that despite the fact that the English have a reputation of keeping themselves to themselves, over 97 per cent of us say we keep an eye out for suspicious behaviour around our neighbours property whilst they are away. 74 per cent said they would call the police if they saw anyone acting suspiciously whilst 23 per cent said they would choose to actually go further and intervene directly to help prevent crime, only two per cent would turn a blind eye. “We have some very brave neighbours who are ‘have a go neighbourly heroes,’ 31 per cent of men and 17 per cent of women say they would intervene directly if they saw anyone acting suspiciously near their neighbour’s property. So it appears to be a modern myth that there is a lack of community spirit – we just don’t talk about it,” said Adrian Grace, managing director of Barclays Insurance Services. “Whilst we certainly ...cont/
would not encourage people to put their safety at risk by dealing directly with suspicious behaviour, it is reassuring to know that people look out for each other without being asked. We would, however, encourage people to put aside that British reserve and let their neighbours know if they are going away so that they might be aware of any unknown visitors, and of course you should also make sure you have adequate insurance cover in case the worst should happen whilst you’re away. Don’t just rely on just your neighbours to keep an eye on your property.” When it comes to trusting someone with a set of keys to our home only a third of us would choose to give our keys to a neighbour, a whopping 69 per cent would hand them over to someone we know better such as a friend or family member. It looks like residents in the South West could be the most desirable neighbours, with 84 per cent prepared to report suspicious behaviour to the police. The less active in comparison are those in the South East where only 66 per cent would do the same.
