FUTURE OF COMMUNITY WARDENS IN ACCRINGTON

Motion Text

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 on 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.
