How Neighbourhood Wardens can help...

Our dedicated team of Neighbourhood Wardens have provided neighbourhoods and communities with a reassuring presence for over three years.

They provide daily patrols (day and evening) and work hard with residents and community groups to find local solutions to local problems

They are very visible in distinctive uniforms and show that by their presence, communities are fighting back against crime and nuisance.

What the Neighbourhood Wardens can do

They are the eyes and ears in the community and have provided evidence in a number of successful Anti-Social Behaviour Orders (ASBOS)

The Wardens have recently been accredited under the West Mercia Police Community Safety Scheme which provides them with additional powers including:

Confiscating alcohol in designated places
Confiscating alcohol from young people
Confiscate tobacco from young people
Remove abandoned vehicles
Request name and addresses from any person who has been involved in an offence which has cause injury, alarm or distress or who had behaved in an anti-social way

They are the first in the country to have been given the opportunity to take such an important step in fighting crime.
