Keeping Calderdale Communities Safe

Monday, 31 October 2016 10:06

Local people will soon see more community wardens patrolling the streets across Calderdale, tackling anti-social behaviour, littering and dog fouling.

This comes after Calderdale Council’s Cabinet moved forward plans to boost the number of community wardens to provide a more visible presence in towns and villages and help local people feel safer.

The Council funds the community warden service. It also used to provide funding for Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) in Calderdale, but this now comes from the Police and Crime Commissioner, who has also increased the number of PCSOs in the borough.

Cllr Susan Press, Calderdale Council’s Cabinet Member for Neighbourhoods and Communities, said:

“We know how much Council wardens and PCSOs are valued by local people. They provide a vital visible presence in our communities, so the more feet on the ground, the more we can help to reassure people and reduce crime and the fear of crime across Calderdale."
