FUTURE OF COMMUNITY WARDENS IN ACCRINGTON

Early day motion 1931, tabled 16 November 2004 by Greg Pope (Labour). Signed by 3 members.

That this House notes the excellent work being carried out by the community wardens in Accrington and congratulates them on their success in tackling anti-social behaviour and building social cohesion; further notes that funding for the service beyond March 2005 is uncertain; and calls upon Hyndburn Borough Council, Lancashire County Council, Lancashire Constabulary, Lancashire Fire and Rescue Service and the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister to work together to find a way of funding a service which adds in value to the community a great deal more than it costs in money.
