NW Street Signs
 A NW street sign is a 300mm (12") diameter circular sign in 11 gauge aluminium and comes complete with two fixing rails to the reverse. The sign is designed with black letters on an orange background, reading "Neighbourhood Watch, supported by the West Mercia Constabulary". The cost per individual sign is £15.00 each, inclusive of VAT.
To enable the sign to be erected, a clip or universal strap is needed to fix into the rail and around the relevant post or lighting column. Various sized clips for this purpose are supplied, ranging in price from £1.00 to £4.00 (inclusive of VAT) depending on the size required. Two clips are required for each sign.
