Littlehampton Community Wardens drop in session - 25 August 2022
Join the Littlehampton Community Wardens at their drop in session on Thursday at Morrisons in Wick between 10am and 12pm.
The Littlehampton Community Wardens can:
- provide a reassuring, uniformed patrolling presence
- provide an eyes and ears service aimed at reducing fear of crime and improving the quality of life
- report environmental issues, notably dog fouling and fly-tipping, and help to preserve the environment
- reduce incidents of anti-social behaviour by intervening at an early stage, and liaising with the Police where needed
- support communities by encouraging activities for young people
- support vulnerable members of the community by preventing isolation
- offer advice on crime prevention and fire safety in the home
- work in partnership with other agencies to help benefit the community
- act as professional witnesses
What they don’t do:
- they are not a replacement for the Police
- they are not an emergency service or response team. Crime and anti-social behaviour should be reported to the police directly
- as they do not work 24/7 there will be times when neither warden is on duty
- they do not provide a care service, but are able to refer vulnerable people to relevant support agencies
- they are not parking wardens and cannot issue parking tickets
