By RNHJourno

Arun District Council are encouraging people to join the Littlehampton Community Wardens at their drop in sessions every 4th Thursday at Morrisons in Wick between 10am-12pm.

What they can do to assist the community:

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
