Here are some examples:-

We also have a team of Community Wardens working with the community and the Police to help reduce incidents of crime and anti-social behaviour and support community projects such as a our Junior Warden Scheme.
Estate Environment Improvements
Each year the nine Community Panels are allocated £2K to spend on small estate improvement projects which in the past has funded park benches, dog waste bins, litter bins, bollards and security lighting.
In addition to this there is a further £150k available to spend district wide on estate based projects.
This year we have funded the installation of several play area, the ‘Tidy up’ of Stagden Cross, donation to the Noak Bridge Beautification Society and resurfacing of paths and drying areas at AP schemes.
