Neighbourhood Wardens

The neighbourhood warden service aims to increase Neighbourhood Wardens helping children with the Kerbcraft scheme community confidence, create a better environment and improve residents' quality of life.

We to do this by reporting crime and disorder incidents like

burglary
drug dealing
car crime
youth nuisance
anti-social behaviour
hate crime

Our highly visible presence helps stop some lower level crime happening in the first place. We report environmental and estate management problems and can issue fixed penalty notices.

We work closely with the Neighbourhood Response Teams in our areas to ensure that environmental problems are dealt with quickly and effectively.

We have close links with the local police officers in each neighbourhood and where appropriate share intelligence. Working in and with the community, to make the area a safer and cleaner place for you to live, work and visit.

Newcastle New Deal for Communities funds the wardens along with the City Council and Europe in Arthur's Hill, Cruddas Park, Rye Hill and Elswick.
