Advice Shops

The Watch holds open Advice Shops on the third Saturday of every month in the former Parish Council offices on Sibson Road (opposite the Garden Centre) between 10am and 12 noon.

We offer property marking with invisible UV pens or an engraver - for bicycles, power tools, lawnmowers and similar items. Postcoding your property discourages burglars and increases the chances of your property being returned if it is stolen. It can also provide vital evidence for the Police to be able to charge a suspected thief.

At the Advice Shops, we also sell a number of home security and safety products to members on a not-for-profit basis. We can also refer you to a number of services.

Some products are supplied free to everyone, others are free only to members and the rest we sell on a not-for-profit basis. That means we sell them at the same price we buy them for - the idea is not to make money, but use our ability to buy in bulk to make it cheaper for you to secure your property and protect yourself.

For example, you can pick up this slim fridge magnet with a list of useful telephone numbers including Trading Standards, and numbers to check the identities of water and gas officials and meter readers at our Saturday Advice Shop.
