Neighbourhood Watchers can help you get online

FIRST STEP: Only registered users can submit groups so the first thing to do is register yourself with Watchers.
If you are already registered please click here to log in before reading any further - if not then you should register by clicking here.

When you log on to the site you are immediately given the option to maintain your Neighbourhood.

NEXT STEP: Find out whether your Group is already registered.

  • First select the County where you live.
  • You will see a list of Towns that have Groups defined - select your Town.
    If your Town isn't in the list then select the 'Add Group'.
  • You will see a list of Groups and if your group is shown select it.
  • If you cannot find your Group by the above process then you can Add it - that's a simple process of entering its name, the postcodes it covers etc.

You must select the role you have in the Group and it will be shown on your local Neighbourhood list every time you log in Watchers.

You can select any number of Groups into your membership, they appear when you log on under "Your Neighbourhood".
