Community Wardens work with partners and residents to help build safer and stronger communities. They provide a reassuring presence and help deter anti-social behaviour and increase public confidence in the safety of their communities.
Wardens are not a substitute for the Police or for other statutory services, but complement them. They do not, for example, operate an emergency or response service - the effectiveness of wardens comes instead from working with, and adding value to, the work of local agencies.
The role of the Community Warden
- To provide high profile presence in the community through daily patrols
- To deter anti-social behaviour in public areas

- To reassure local people and act as a recognised point of contact to make people feel safe
- To report suspicious behaviour to the police and other enforcement agencies
- To develop community spirit and foster civic pride

Our team of community wardens are deployed throughout the Borough in pairs. Each team is responsible for an areas or neighbourhoods.
