The Safer Neighbourhood Scheme
From November 2006 Safer Neighbourhood teams are being introduced across the county to give a more visible and effective policing presence at a local level. The teams comprise Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers and Special Constables all dedicated to working as a team in their locality.
Warwick Gates falls under the Warwick Central neighbourhood team, which covers Warwick North, South and East.The intention is that voluntary groups such as WGRA team up with their relevant neighbourhood team to prioritise and tackle local issues such as anti-social behaviour.
Our team will be based at the Warwick Police Station,
Priory Road, Warwick. CV34 4NA Tel: 01926 684361
email : wrc.snt@warwickshire.police.uk
Our Beat Sargent is: Allison Wiggin
Our Police Community Support Officer is: PCSO Lauren Dwyer

Local and National Government
As the responsibilities of the different tiers of local government are laid down by legislation and vary from region to region we would recommend you visit either http://www.warwickdc.gov.uk/ for the district council and/or www.warwickshire.gov.uk for the county council.
As a rough guide the county council covers, amongst many things, education, roads and highways, highway drainage gutters etc. The district council covers refuse collection, waste disposal, sports, leisure, parks, public amenities and more.
We have always found the main switchboard at Warwick District Council to be most helpful when calling with a query or problem. Their telephone number is 01926 410410.

This tip has a recycling shop and just about takes anything except liquid paint. They advise leaving the top off to allow paint to dry out and then they will take it! Chemicals only on Thursday pm please as this requires a trained chemist on site and a lot of paperwork!
