About

Stanwell Moor Community Watch (SMCW) is a new community-based organisation that serves the residents of Stanwell Moor, a village located in Surrey, next to Heathrow Airport. The group plays a significant role in representing the interests and concerns of the community and working towards the betterment of the village.

The primary objective of the Group is to ensure that the voice of the community is heard and taken into account in matters that affect the village. They act as a liaison between the residents and Spelthorne Borough Council, Surrey County Council and Heathrow Airport, working closely with local government officials, council members, and other relevant stakeholders. The group actively engages in discussions and consultations on various issues related to the village, such as infrastructure, planning and development, traffic management, environmental conservation, and community services.

One of the key functions of the the group is to advocate for the needs and concerns of the residents. The group seeks to promote the community’s interests in discussions with local authorities, aiming to bring about positive changes and improvements in the village.

Stanwell Moor Community Watch

We are committed to finding solutions for a better quality of life for residents.

The group disseminates important information and updates from local government, and other relevant organizations to residents in their street. They can also collect feedback and suggestions from residents to ensure their voices are heard.

The group focuses on a number of key issues affecting the village that it can advocate on. These include:

1. Neighbourhood Safety: address concerns related to neighbourhood safety, such as reporting suspicious activities, coordinating neighbourhood watch programs, and raising awareness about crime prevention measures.  The village has joined Neighbourhood Watch which it is keen to widen.

2. Infrastructure and Maintenance: The group monitors the environment closely and advocates to the Councils for improvements in infrastructure and maintenance within their streets, such as pothole repairs, streetlight maintenance, pavement repairs, and traffic calming measures.

3. Environmental Issues: the group seeks to address concerns related to wider environmental issues, such as littering, illegal dumping, and promoting recycling and sustainability practices within the community.

4. Community Services: the group is building up information on how residents can access local services, such as providing information about local healthcare facilities, libraries, and recreational activities.

5. Traffic and Parking: the group is actively working with the Councils and Heathrow Airport Ltd. on abuses to parking by private hire cars, and Meet and Greet companies.  We want to free the streets of parking complaints and the litter caused by the drivers.

Working with Councils

We are working closely with Surrey County Council on roads and litter and with Spelthorne Council on anti-social behaviour. Both County and Borough Councillors are supporting us with challenging Heathrow Airport on air and noise pollution, and private hire and, meet and greet parking.
