Sadly, the funding for the Street Warden Service runs out in September. They are to be replaced by Community Support Officers who will be involved with environmental matters like the wardens but they will also have other duties related to police issues such as dealing with anti-social behaviour.
We hope to have a very productive relationship with the CSO’s and look forward to being engaged in joint pieces of work.

We would also like to recognise the extremely hard work done by the Street Warden Service over the last four years and on behalf of ourselves and the community, we would like to offer them our thanks and appreciation. They have become familiar ‘friends on the streets’ and have made a real difference in addressing key areas of Morecambe’s regeneration. It is anticipated that the new CSO’s will carry those skills forward.
The Arson Reduction Vehicle will continue to operate within the West End, clearing away dumped rubbish which poses a fire risk. |
