Neighbourhood Watch schemes, which see communities helping to prevent and reduce crime by joining forces with each other and the police to share local information and advice, have traditionally attracted a more mature membership.

Students from Year 10 at Intake High School Arts College have been taking part in a competition, run by their local neighbourhood policing team, to design a local logo that is more accessible to a wider age range.

The winning design, created by pupil Yasmin Ahmed, is now being displayed on local bus services run by First, who are supporting the project.

Sergeant Paul Cliffe, of the West Inner Neighbourhood Policing Team, told Bramley Today: "Young people are a vital part of our communities and can play a significant role in cutting crime in their areas by being part of a Neighbourhood Watch scheme.

"We were really impressed with the standard of the entries and it wasn't easy to pick a winner. The winning entry was chosen because it is colourful and eye-catching and conveys very simply what Neighbourhood Watch is about.

"The competition also gave us the opportunity to find out what young people think about Neighbourhood Watch and what would make it appeal more to them."

A First bus displaying the winning design went along to the school where Yasmin was presented with a prize of a £25 voucher from Tesco's Bramley store, which is also backing the scheme.

Charles Donnelly, Marketing Manager for First, said: "We are delighted to be involved with this competition which helps promote Neighbourhood Watch schemes in Bramley. First rely on the support from schools, parents and communities to help reduce crime on our buses and especially this scheme that involves young people."
