What is the Neighbourhood Warden Service?

The Neighbourhood Warden Service was piloted in the Cam and Dursley area in 2002 following a government white paper, the service had such success that it was main stream funded after six months and today is seen as setting the standard within the south west. The service provides support and advice to the whole community tackling local issues at a local level.

The service operates Monday – Friday between the hours of 8am – 10pm weekends between the hours of 8am – 4pm.
