Neighbourhood Wardens Plus You Thornhill residents are lucky to have local Neighbourhood Wardens. They are helping improve the appearance of public areas, reduce crime and build community confidence. They also need your help.
The Wardens work closely with community groups, agencies and individuals to empower local people to address issues. Through this outlet residents can help set the priorities for their Neighbourhood Wardens by raising their concerns.
Tasks for The Wardens:
- Arranging the removal of graffiti, litter and bulky rubbish
- Responding to minor anti-social behaviour and neighbour dispute incidents
- Working to maintain the good appearance of communal areas
- Supporting older people, vulnerable residents and victims of crime
- Reporting abandoned vehicles and monitoring their removal
- Health and Safety checks
- Helping to keep empty properties safe and secure where possible
- Some cleaning of entrances, refuse areas and shared areas of the council's low-level blocks of flats
The Neighbourhood Wardens will equip residents with a greater sense of pride, which is great news for Thornhill. They are not police officers or security guards, but people who care for your area and will work with you to make Thornhill a cleaner and safer place.
The wardens can be contacted by speaking to them when they are out in the neighbourhood, by ringing Actionline on Freephone 0800 5 19 19 19, visiting the Local Housing Office or through local community groups, residents and tenants associations.
