NEIGHBOURHOOD Watch and its sponsor Co-op Insurance have just launched a nationwide search to find and celebrate the best and most considerate neighbours of 2018.

They are urging people to nominate the most deserving good neighbours — and there is an opportunity to put forward their ‘Hero Next Door’ for a true act of heroism.

A spokesperson for Neighbourhood Watch said: ‘We’re talking about the local heroes in your street and community whose acts of kindness and neighbourliness really set them apart. We want to recognise the people who are making such a vital contribution to community life and encourage others to follow in their footsteps.

‘You don’t need to be a Neighbourhood Watch member to nominate and the person you nominate doesn’t need to be a member either.’
