Normanton Screen Print, a preferred supplier of Neighbourhood Watch signs, is having an Autumn Promotion. Each order over £250 will enjoy an additional 10% discount over normal pricing. Check what is available on the website, http://www.nsprint.netthen/ telephone 0115 973 3323 or e-mail sales@nsprint.net for details of the discount.
SCAM E-MAIL
An increased number of scam e-mails have been circulating recently. Take care not fall victim. E-mails seem genuine and are made to look as if they’ve come from reputable organisations. My own experience is that there’s usually a glaring error in the spelling (which is a dead giveaway) but, if you’re not sure where it has come from, delete it. Check this page on the OurWatch website for advice about staying safe on the web:
