A quick guide . . . 

(Mr Alan Bowler or Mr Ian Kelty, Member Liaison, can visit you to give more details / answer questions and we have literature for you to show you & your neighbours) 

 1.  ~ Great idea about joining us.

 

 2.  ~ Someone in your road, hopefully you or 'you & yours' becomes the "HomeWatch Coordinator / Scheme Leader" & starts a 'HomeWatch Group' for your Road with as many, or as few neighbours as YOU choose (The Police suggest 20, but the more neighbours/members around you the better your own security)

 

 3.  ~ All groups are advised to buy the £10 'road-sign' from the Association (cost shared between all of your members)

The Council will put it up on a suitable lamppost for you free of charge.

~ The HomeWatch Triangle you all receive tells would-be thieves that you & your neighbours are security conscious and look out for each other.

 

 4.  ~ Once a month an envelope will drop through your letterbox containing a number of A4 Newsletters (we ask for a list of the house numbers in your group, not names)

~ just fold & post them through your member's doors.

There is no other commitment  

 

 5.  ~  Ask for the 'HomeWatch discount' when you renew your house insurance    :o)

~ You also become eligible to buy SMARTWATER for the ridiculously low price of £15 (with free registration for life)

 

 

    I started in 2001 by getting 40 neighbours into "my" group in Moorland Road

~ each gladly gave £1 to buy 4 road signs.

Like most people, I only knew a few close neighbours when I started out, so it made our section of the road more sociable too.

 

One groups have just 8 members; the largest has over 200 ~ the more the merrier & the safer your road becomes.

   

 I can answer any questions via email.
