The Council and Groundwork are working in partnership to recruit volunteer local residents to keep an eye on their local neighbourhoods and report any issues with litter, dog fouling, graffiti, broken street furniture, overflowing bins, abandoned cars etc.
As a volunteer we would expect that the role be incorporated into your day to day life and would just ask that you spot issues in your chosen area once a week and report them to a designated council officer on a regular basis. In return you will receive a rapid response to deal with the problem and feedback to you about that issue.
There is no obligation for you to be high profile, you can remain anonymous if you wish and report from the comfort of your home
All volunteers will be offered an induction programme which will cover how Streetscene works and will include meeting with various staff that deliver the service as well as staff such as dog wardens and environmental wardens
For more information contact streetscene@darlington.gov.uk or tel 01325 388777. You can also contact us on 382276.
As we live in the ward we do report any issues we come upon, however it is impossible for us to be everywhere all the time. Taking part in this scheme will help us to make Harrowgate Hill a cleaner place to live and a cleaner environment promotes pride in the local community.
