Neighbourhood Watch
(Recommended)
More Info
Neighbourhood Watch trained and licensed administrators (MSAs) assist to keep members details updated, introduce people to schemes and occasionally send messages about Neighbourhood Watch business. Opting-in to Neighbourhood Watch means a small number of approved volunteer administrators (MSAs) will be able to see your account, assist to keep members details updated, introduce people to schemes and occasionally send messages about Neighbourhood Watch business.
This does not mean that you are joining a scheme but, if you live within an approved, existing scheme area it does mean that your local approved Coordinator can access your contact details, and they may contact you to introduce themselves or add you to the local scheme (at which point you will have the option to decline).
