| Aims and Objectives | Housing and Technical Resources currently delivers a Community Warden Service that contributes to efforts by the council and its community safety partners to tackle anti-social behaviour accross South Lanarkshire. The Community Wardens Service currently has 2 functions/teams: - Investigative Support - Estates service The Investigative Support team, including CCTV monitoring, plays an integral part in the function of the Community Safety Hubs with a significant proportion of the overall service activities being targeted based on intelligence and information sharing through the Hubs. The Estates Service carries out patrols in areas identified by housing teams and other partners where there is a prevalence of anti-social behaviour (including disorder, fly tipping, dog fouling) as a deterrent and to provide public reassurance. This service is non statutory and has less impact on achieving the strategic priorities of the council and it is being proposed that this service is removed This revised model of service will provide a focused service supporting front line case management / resolution along with strategic priorities. This saving will be achieved through turnover and redeployment through Switch 2. - General Fund (46%) £105,800 - Housing Revenue Account (54%) £124,200 |
| Conclusion | The review is being carried out to ensure the service is provided in the most cost effective, efficient and accessible manner possible, whilst at the same time ensuring there is no adverse impact on the council, the community or protected groups. |
