A CRIME-fighting venture, called Not In My Neighbourhood, has proved a real success in South Cheshire.

Residents across the area have been taking to the streets this week in a series of events about tackling crime and anti-social behaviour.

Thousands of people up and down the country are all joining forces with crime-fighting professionals and local councils for a week of community action.

In Crewe, a family fun day took place at the Frank Webb Avenue play area.

Crewe and Nantwich MP Edward Timpson joined in the activities when he tried guessing the weight of a giant pumpkin.
