Community Warden

Community wardens work closely with the police, local authorities and other agencies and are a useful source of information for the community.

They raise awareness of problems among the community working with the young, elderly and vulnerable in activities such as youth clubs, sporting events, coffee mornings and advice surgeries.

They can address environmental issues such as fly-tipping, graffiti and vandalism.
