11 of neighborhoods in Weston are already using Nextdoor (www.nextdoor.com), the first private social network for neighborhoods, and now the Village of WESTON has adopted the platform to communicate directly with residents. This new partnership will improve Village-wide and neighbor-to-neighbor communications and help build stronger and safer communities across the Village.

On Nextdoor neighbors can get to know one another and exchange local advice and recommendations. WESTON residents will also be able to receive important notifications directly from the Village

 Tens of thousands of neighbors across the country are already using Nextdoor to:

• Find trustworthy local resources, such as babysitters, plumbers, and dentists

• Communicate with neighbors and the Village about suspicious activity and safety concerns

• Organize neighborhood events, such as garage sales and block parties

• Get assistance in finding lost pets and missing packages

• Sell or give away items, like an old kitchen table or bike

Nextdoor was specifically designed to make neighbors feel comfortable sharing information with one another. All members must verify that they live within the neighborhood. Information shared on Nextdoor is password-protected and cannot be accessed by those outside the neighborhood or found on search engines.

Please join your neighbors and the Village in building a stronger, safer Weston today at www.nextdoor.com.
