Welcome to Broadstone Neighbourhood Watch!
Keeping our community safe, connected, and supported since 1986.
From small beginnings, we’ve grown into a thriving community network covering over 92% of local roads—that’s more than 3,200 households across Broadstone (BH18) working together to look out for one another.
What We Do
Our goal is simple: keep crime down and community spirit up! We work hand-in-hand with the Poole North Neighbourhood Policing Team, our volunteer committee, and local residents to create a safer environment for everyone.
Getting Involved
Membership is open to all households in the Broadstone postal area (plus selected neighbouring streets) for a small annual donation—currently just £2 a year.
Here is how you can stay connected:
Quarterly Newsletter: Packed with local updates, practical safety tips, and crime prevention advice. Delivered right to your door or straight to your inbox.

How We’re Organized
We’re powered by a dedicated team of volunteers structured to keep communication fast and effective:
235 Contacts: Local road leaders who check in with their immediate neighbours.
40 Co-ordinators: Supporting groups of Contacts across different zones.
The Committee: Made up of elected officers and 8 Co-ordinators who meet every two months at Broadstone Methodist Church to keep operations running smoothly.
When a new road group joins, our Membership & Development Officer sets everyone up with a welcome pack—including window stickers, security guides, and key info about the scheme.
Our Contacts also use the ALERT System to pass along urgent police warnings via phone or email in real time, making it easier than ever to keep our streets informed and secure. You can also contact us by using the Contact Form or Phoning 01622370996
