How do Neighbourhood Wardens help?
The Neighbourhood Wardens scheme we run in East Manchester offers wardens on patrol from 9.30am until 10.00pm, seven days a week. Our team of 15 Wardens have become the eyes and ears of the neighbourhood since the scheme was introduced in 2001. Through high visibility they prevent crime, reassure residents, reduce the fear of crime and offer sound advice. In addition, they also develop projects to tackle specific types of nuisance as they arise. They can respond to a spate of street robberies or burglaries and by simply altering their patrol route they act as a deterrent.
