Neighbourhood Watch alerts

Alerts for your area, newest first

Local lists the Neighbourhood Watch alerts for your estate’s area, newest first, with who sent it and a short summary where the alert gives them, and the day. It checks for new alerts every hour and drops them after 90 days. A manager can hide an alert from residents.

  • Sender and summary where the alert gives them, and the day
  • A title opens the alert on its own site when there is one
  • Checked every hour; alerts drop off after 90 days
  • A manager can hide an alert from residents

Police

Know your neighbour­hood police team

Local names your police neighbourhood team from police.uk: its officers, its current priorities and its next meeting, with a link to email the team and the 101 number, marked as not for emergencies.

  • The officers on your team, with their ranks
  • The team’s priorities, with the month they were set
  • The next meeting, with its time and place
  • Email the team, its page, and 101 in one place

Bins, council and MP

Find your bin days, council and MP

Local links to GOV.UK to find your bin days, names your council, and shows your MP with a contact page. It all comes from your estate’s postcode.

  • A link to your bin days on GOV.UK
  • Your council, and the county council above it where there is one
  • Your MP, their party and constituency
  • An email address or phone number for your MP, when one is listed

Set up in Manage

Set up once with a postcode

A manager enters the estate’s postcode in Manage. Local looks up the ward, council, police neighbourhood and constituency, and Manage shows what it found. Local covers England only for now.

  • One postcode fills in the council, police team and MP
  • Use the current location to find the postcode; it is never stored
  • Paste your area’s address from your force’s alert site to turn on alerts
  • Change the postcode and Local looks it up again
