If there is no Group in your road/area and you are prepared to be a Co-ordinator, you will be provided with a booklet explaining how you can set up and run a Group. Copies of a pamphlet introducing your neighbours to Neighbourhood Watch and inviting them to become members, can also be supplied.

Please note, however, that a Group cannot be set up without a Co-ordinator.

Once you are satisfied there is sufficient interest, contact Ivor Webb or Phil Marten to agree and arrange a convenient date for the initial meeting. In addition to setting up the Group, providing crime prevention advice and describing the communication systems in use, the CPC will provide literature as well as door and window stickers.
