North Warwickshire Borough Council introduce Neighbourhood Wardens

NWBC Housing Division has four Neighbourhood Wardens based in different areas of the Borough who are pro-active within the community in tackling nuisance issues on estates and provide a link between the community, Police, Local Authority and other Partner Agencies.

Wardens do not have any power of arrest, they are the eyes and ears of the local community, deal with anti social behaviour on estates, pick up litter, report abandoned cars, attend local meeting with tenants, report vandalism and disrepair and report graffiti.

By working closely with the community and being seen in the area they promote partnership working to deal with issues of concern. The Wardens have scheduled Neighbourhood Walks in both Mancetter and Ridge Lane. Read More...

Mancetter’s Jubilee Quarry has an exciting new feature for walkers to enjoy, to stop for a bite to eat, a well-earned rest or just to pause and enjoy the carvings and the simple beauty of the six carved pieces that make up the sculptured seats. The artist carved each piece with images and representations of Mancetter’s unique ancient Roman history and Queen Boudicca. Visit the piece and amongst others you’ll see carvings of Celtic trumpet blowers announcing the charge into battle and Boudicca herself taking up arms against the oppression of the Romans.

Mike Gale, Quarry Manager for Tarmac, who generously donated the stone for this piece, said, “I have thoroughly enjoyed being part of this worthwhile project. What I particularly like about the sculptures is that whenever you look at them, you always seem to find something that you have not seen before”.
