Wardens' report

13 October 2005

Hello, we’d like to introduce ourselves. We’re the new Neighbourhood Wardens who will be working to make life better in Ilfracombe, Combe Martin and Bratton Fleming. We’re here as friendly faces on the street who people feel they can approach and talk to if they have any problems, so please do stop us for a chat when you see us around.

We’re spending a lot of time this month talking to young people and finding out what facilities they’d like in the area, and we’re also helping transport young people home after the extended schools programme at Ilfracombe College.

Andrew writes: "My name is Andrew Kellaway and I live in Bratton Fleming. I enjoy a wide range of sports and am involved with my local football club. I’m looking forward to meeting the people from each area and getting involved in community activities."

Helen writes: "Hi, my name is Helen Frisby. I feel optimistic about the job as the response so far has been so positive. I’m looking forward to working in the three areas, meeting people and hopefully helping towards creating a safer environment with a strong sense of community spirit."
