Putting Up Signs – Making It Easy!

Introducing the new Signage Permission Form from Neighbourhood Watch Scotland

We know that putting up official signs in public spaces can be a challenging process — and we want to make things easier for you.

To help, we have created a new Signage Permission Form designed especially for our Coordinators. This handy template can be used when seeking approval from your Local Authority to install Neighbourhood Watch Scotland (NWS) signage in your area.

The letter template provides all the key information your Local Authority should need, helping to streamline the approval process and reduce delays — so you can get those signs up and proudly show that your community is part of NWS. Whether you are setting up a brand-new Watch or refreshing existing signage, this form will help simplify the initial contact with local authorities across Scotland.

You can download the Signage Permission Form now from our website.

Ho to Use the Signage Request Form

  1. Download the form using the link above and open the form in Adobe Acrobat (or another PDF reader).
  2. Click on each field to enter your details, or print the form and complete it by hand.
  3. Check all information is correct.
  4. Save and email the completed form to your local authority or print and post/hand it in as required.

Together, let’s make it even easier to show that your community is watching out for each other.
