Greenwich Borough Neighbourhood Watch Association Coordinators toolkit:
Street signs and stickers
A great way to promote your scheme is to affix Neighbourhood Watch street signs.
New schemes can obtain two free Neighbourhood Watch street signs per scheme from the association to help new schemes get started.
You’ll need to decide where you want to install your signs, include the details on the Scheme Registration Form, and return the completed form to your local Safer Neighbourhoods Police team (SNT).
Your SNT should then contact the association, via the Chair or Vice Chair, to arrange for materials which the SNT will deliver to you.
With your local SNT involved throughout the process, this helps to ensure they continue to work closely with you.
You’ll need to install the signs no lower than 2.1 metres high at the lower edge. This is to avoid anyone injuring themselves.
To affix a sign use the supplied plastic twisties to tie the signs top and bottom on to the lowest point of your chosen street lamp post. Then push the signs up using a well positioned broom handle – the higher the better! Please note there is no central facility in the association or the council to help with this, so please enlist the help of your scheme co-ordinators and members.
You can order additional and/or replacement signs, such as when signs get damaged, at £2.50 per sign. This goes towards some of the production costs. Please provide cheques or postal orders, made payable to the Greenwich Borough Neighbourhood Watch Association (GBNWA), to your local SNT who in turn will pass them on to the association.
Signs can be provided once a Scheme Registration Form has been completed. Please note, additional signs cannot be provided until payment has been received.
Stickers and supporting material
Along with street signs you’ll also receive stickers and supporting materials to help you recruit co-ordinators and promote the scheme to scheme members.
