Final details and sign up for My Local Bobby
Dear Member,
Thank you to everyone who attended the recent Chelsfield Park Security Meeting to learn more about the My Local Bobby service. If you weren’t able to attend, you can watch a recording of the full presentation and discussion and read our FAQs.
We are now asking everyone who is interested for a firm commitment to sign up if you want to benefit from significantly enhanced security for your home. Signing up is obviously completely optional, but we do need at least 50 houses to sign up to make it happen at all.
The more houses that sign up, the cheaper it gets!
As the cost is shared amongst all subscribers, the more houses that sign up, the cheaper it becomes for everyone.
For example, if every house in Chelsfield Park were to sign up (that’s over 300 houses), the cost for 12 hours of coverage 7 days a week would be less than £40 per house per month!
We understand that not everyone will sign up, so we are aiming for 50 houses as a minimum starting point. The cost for 50 houses would be £155.78 per house per month for 8 hours of coverage, 7 days per week.
If we start with this number, as more houses sign up, we can increase the hours covered and then reduce the price. Our recommendation would be to initially increase the coverage up to 12 hours per day and then start reducing the price. It would require 75 houses to sign up at £155.78 per month to get 12 hours of coverage per day.
We completely understand that £155 per month is not a trivial amount of money and that not everyone will be able to commit to that amount. We would ideally like it to be cheaper, but that requires as many houses as possible to sign up. The more houses that do sign up, the cheaper it becomes, as you can see below.
Pricing examples
Please see below examples of how the monthly pricing could scale over time as more houses sign up for the service:
- 50 houses with 8 hours of coverage per day – £155.78
- 75 houses with 12 hours of coverage per day – £155.78
- 100 houses with 12 hours of coverage per day – £116.84
- 150 houses with 12 hours of coverage per day – £77.89
- 200 houses with 12 hours of coverage per day – £58.42
- 300 houses with 12 hours of coverage per day – £38.95
We firmly believe that this service will significantly enhance the security of Chelsfield Park for all residents and that subscribers will benefit from peace of mind, deterrence of crime, proactive monitoring of their property and rapid response to crimes and incidents. We ask everyone to confirm if they wish to subscribe within 14 days. If we have enough subscribers, we will then proceed to implement the service.
For further information and a recap of the service, please watch the video of the meeting and review the dedicated Frequently Asked Questions which contain a lot of detail about the service.
