 both public and private residents. This means that finding people happy to volunteer their time to help steer this work can be more challenging that organising a campaign where people are directly impacted by a development. On top of that we find younger people
 who become involved often get pushed out of the area due to the high cost of housing or they move into jobs that make it difficult for them to also hold key roles in REDWatch because of potential conflicts of interest. This means we are always on the lookout
