Spelthorne Neighbourhood Watch

Why is neighbourhood watch needed?

admin — Thu, 20 May 2010 10:54:17 +0000

To make a stand on safety and security for the area we live in. We can all play a role by looking out for each other and reporting suspicious activity to the police.

Are there any other ways of raising funds for NHW?

The steering group has a borough-wide scheme to collect unwanted mobile phones and spent ink cartridges for re-cycling.
We welcome initiatives from members to fund their own watch, e.g. for meetings, additional signs, printing material for non-it households.

Do we get street signs and is there a cost?

Normally on start up of a watch one/two signs are given free. There is no cost to be a member. However some schemes do raise/ maintain funds to assist their watch.

Is it correct as a member of NHW I am able to get a discount on my home insurance?

Shop around as most companies offer ( 5 % – 15 % ) for neighbourhood watch members.
