Tibshelf Parish Council has announced that their Neighbourhood Watch scheme now has its own Facebook page where any issues within the village can be discussed.
A spokesman for the council said: “We are launching the Tibshelf Neighbourhood Watch group on Facebook.
“This group will allow members and residents to discuss issues in the village relating to the Neighbourhood Watch.
“To join the conversation, please use the following link: www.facebook.com/groups/232257993212830.”
A description on the Facebook page further states: “This scheme is run by Tibshelf Parish Council, covering the whole civic parish.
“This Facebook group is a place for members and residents to interact, share ideas, concerns and keep a ‘watch’ on Tibshelf.
