Wardens update
Sue Hunter from the Warden Service (Dulwich & Camberwell) outlined the recent work undertaken by the wardens in Dulwich area which include:
· Targeting littering and dog fouling
· Leafleting and advising residents not to become victims of crime
· Southwark Young Advisors won an award (organised by the Damilola Taylor Trust) at the Spirit of London Awards ceremony in recognition of their work in the community
Sue responded to questions on the number of wardens in the DCC area. She said there were 6 wardens but unfortunately due to a recent incident (two wardens injured as a result of a van driver who deliberately drove into them). The wardens are okay now – but are yet to find the culprit.
