Every street in Hatch End has a Neighbourhood Champion

There are 1,000 people signed up across the borough to become one of these volunteers although not all have completed the required training.
Councillor Susan Hall (Conservative), leader of Harrow Council's Conservative group, said: "I'm thrilled to bits by this news, both as a member of the administration that launched Neighbourhood Champions, and a Hatch End councillor, and I continue to be overwhelmed by how quickly and thoroughly Neighbourhood Champions have been embraced by Harrow.
"There was some concern over what they would be used for when they were introduced, and even the current leader of the council said he'd spend their funding on other things.
"So it wasn't the easiest of launches, but the hundreds of applicants and Champions trained since then have shown both the value and the popularity of the scheme."
Sergeant Pete Carruthers, who leads Hatch End Safer Neighbourhood Team, told the Observer: "The PCSO whose arranged registering is John-Paul Matthews and he's worked hard all year to secure 100 per cent coverage, which he's finally done, so thanks to him and thanks to all the residents for being publicly supportive."
The current Labour administration has adopted a target of recruiting 2,000 volunteers by March 2012.
