VALE Royal Borough Council's Community Safety Wardens are set to complete a whistle-stop tour of each parish and ward in the area over the coming weeks.

The visits are part of a relaunch of the warden service throughout the borough to allow the warden team to meet as many people as possible.

Clr John Grimshaw, lead councillor for community safety, said: "Once these visits have taken place the wardens will begin to patrol each area on a rota basis.

"The wardens hope the public and businesses will stop them and tell them about concerns and problems they may have."

In the meantime the wardens will continue to patrol in their existing areas, including Northwich and Winsford, focusing on dealing with complaints and reducing the communities' fear of crime.
