The Street Wardens are currently working on many projects as well as regularly patrolling the city centre.  Below are a couple of examples of the projects:

 

 

The Street Wardens work continually alongside the Police in reminding cyclists to dismount from their cycles in Bridge Street.  Cycling is prohibited in Bridge Street from 9am to 6pm Monday to Saturday and can incur a £30 fixed penalty notice from the Police.  The Street Wardens receive many requests to stop cyclists who are creating a danger to themselves and pedestrians when they cycle through the busy street. 

 

In an incident last summer the Street Wardens assisted a lady who had received minor injuries to her legs when two young cyclists knocked her over as she came out of the Limon Café in Bridge Street.

 

 

Children attending Bishop Creighton School have been specially selected to become Junior Street Wardens in a scheme launched in the Spring of 2004 to encourage children to participate in environmental projects in and around the city centre.

 

The Junior Wardens have taken part in planting bulbs and trees in and around the embankment area, Stephenson Court and Cathedral Square.  They have helped to clear litter from various areas including their own school grounds and are encouraged to report issues needing attention to the Street Wardens that they see when they are out and about with their friends.
