Village Warden Service

Whilst serious incidents at The Village have reduced by 50% in the last year the wardens have still been kept busy, carrying out over 600 miles of patrols, managing the cctv system, dealing with various  incidents and helping residents when needed.

We hope the reduction in anti social behaviour will continue as we come out of lockdown and our warden service and cctv system will continue to provide a good deterrent. The camera in Brigade Place is now fully operational and other cameras recently assisted police with a resident’s car theft from Alexander Crescent.

The ANPR camera near the Warden’s Hut now shows that the number of vehicles entering/leaving The Village is back to pre lockdown levels whereas it had reduced to 60% of normal traffic.

There was a serious kitchen fire in early January at a ground floor flat in Boundary Point but thanks to the quick action of Alasdair the residents concerned were led to safety and a major incident was averted. Assistance has also been provided by the wardens to Transform Housing Group residents on Coldstream Road, providing advice and making phone calls on their behalf.

Please call the Police on 999 if there’s an emergency or you see a crime taking place and only then contact the Wardens. For other incidents you can call 101. 

The Wardens also appreciate an email or voice mail outside normal working hours (3pm to midnight) advising them of anything unusual so that they can follow up when they’re on duty. 01883 770611  / villagewarden@gmail.com

Thanks to Alasdair and Wayne for a job well done and for helping to keep all residents and users of The Village as safe as possible.
