What do the Neighbourhood Wardens do?

The Wardens are part of the Community Safety Team and work with all sections of the community from elderly and/or vulnerable people through to young people and businesses to find solutions to problems whilst promoting community cohesion and resilience.

# They have enforcement powers

# They carry out high visibility patrols to deter crime and anti-social behaviour

# Horsham District Council is accredited by Sussex Police

# The Wardens can utilise certain police powers aimed at low-level anti-social behaviour

# They can also exercise powers available to them as employees of the District Council in relation to environmental offences and again, anti-social behaviour.

Prevention is better than cure and the team spend time working to prevent issues by dealing with the long-term causes in partnership with other agencies rather than just the symptoms.
