Wixams Neighbourhood Watch (WNW) was started in 2010. In addition to organising regular litterpicks, it published regular information in the first Wixams Community Newsletter started by Linda Whitfield, Community Development Officer. This newsletter was then briefly produced by the Community Events Group. In 2015 WNW started the monthly full colour Wixams News. The Wixams News was produced monthly until March 2020 (see past online editions below). The print run was 1000 copies in 2015 to 1,500 copies in 2020. A new group and committee was then formed to continue as the Wixams Newsletter, from October 2020.

Wixams Neighbourhood Watch was relaunched as the Wixams Community Watch in 2021.

Since 2010 Wixams Neighbourhood Watch has delivered the monthly Wilstead Parish Newsletter to all homes in Wixams. This newsletter was produced by Wilstead Neighbourhood Watch.

Since the new Wixams Parish commenced in May 2015, separate from Wilstead,a new Wixams Newsletter has been published every month by Wixams Neighbourhood Watch and delivered to all houses in Wixams Parish.

The aim of the Wixams Newsletter is to help develop a safer local community and improve the quality of life.

The Wixams Newsletter is the best way of telling people in Wixams about your services, events, and business - especially if you are a local business or organisation. As almost everyone is new to the village, in a new house, there is enthusiasm to do, go and spend! There are approximately 900 occupied new homes in Wixams, together with some established homes in Wixams, increasing to 1,000 later this year. We want to say 'thank you' to our advertisers.

We only need a minimum of two A4 pages of advertising and it is on a first-come first-served basis. Since we began the advertising space has been fully subscribed. There is a waiting list.
