COUNCILLORS will meet later this week to hear how successful the community wardens in Hartlepool have been.
The wardens started patrolling three areas of the town, Owton, Dyke House and Brinkburn, in January.
The aim of the community warden scheme is to make their areas of responsibility better places to live, by reducing the fear of crime and by deterring anti-social behaviour and opportunist thieves.
The wardens work from Monday to Saturday, from 9am to 11.30pm, patrolling and reassuring vulnerable residents and dealing with minor incidents of disorder.
Members of Hartlepool Borough Council's mayor's portfolio decision schedule will meet on Thursday when they will hear how a new scheme in the West Central Hartlepool area has recently been approved following the success of the other three.
