What is the street leader scheme?
The Street Leader scheme is designed to support people who are
concerned about their local environment and want to work in
partnership with Peterborough City Council to make noticeable
improvements.
Who can be a street leader?
Street leaders can be anyone living in the Peterborough area who
is willing to look out for problems in their communities. The
scheme is also open to any business or organisations that have a
collective interest in helping make a difference in the
community.
How much time do street leaders give up?
Street leaders don't have to give up a set amount of time and
your role as a Street leader can become part of your every day
life. All you have to do is keep your eyes open for anything that
has a negative effect on your local environment and report it to
us.
How do street leaders report problems?
Street leaders report problems direct to the Council by phoning
the dedicated free phone number or via the website using the on
line reporting form.
How big an area are street leaders expected to keep an eye
on?
This depends on how active you want to be. You could choose
to look after the street you live in, the places where you
regularly travel through on your way to work, school, the shops or
while walking your dog. You can report anything you see in
Peterborough that you feel effects your overall environment.
How will becoming a street leader help my community?
By becoming a Street leader you will be able to help improve
your neighbourhoods street scene by reporting problems such as
- Graffiti
- Fly tipping
- Litter
- Dog Fouling
- Abandoned vehicles
- Defective Street Lighting
- Any other problem that is causing concerns to the local
community.
Do Street leaders get any training?
Yes, new street leaders will receive an induction into the
scheme, will learn how to recognise different types of environment
crime and how to report it. You will also be given the opportunity
to take part in activities such as providing information to
residents about various services and schemes provided by the
Council and other local agencies and groups for their overall
benefit. If you would like more information please contact us.
