Warning over alternative Neighbourhood Watch website

POLICE across the country are warning about a website calling itself neighbourhood watch.

The website, nhwo.co.uk, was launched on December 14 and we would like to stress that it is not supported by the Neighbourhood and Home Watch Network (NHWN) which is the official national body representing ALL Neighbourhood Watch members in England & Wales.

The site pitches to Neighbourhood Watch members to register their scheme to obtain membership resources. It sells a ‘co-ordinators pack’ at £39.99 which includes two street signs, stickers and a high visibility vest with Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator on the back. Neighbourhood Watch stickers are supplied nationally at no cost to members and street signs are supplied in Birstall & Wanlip at no cost to members (in other parts of Leicestershire, street signs are charged from only £6.50)

Details of the free national Neighbourhood Watch scheme can be found at www.ourwatch.org.uk Anyone wishing to join or set up a scheme can register online at the official Police recognised website for both the Leicestershire & Rutland Neighbourhood Watch Associations at : www.leicestershireneighbourhoodwatch.co.uk

IT IS TOTALLY FREE TO BECOME A MEMBER OF NEIGHBOURHOOD WATCH IN LEICESTER, LEICESTERSHIRE AND RUTLAND.

Birstall & Wanlip Neighbourhood Watch requests an annual donation and suggests only £1 per household.
