The Community Rangers Scheme

What is the scheme?

The Community Rangers Project is currently recruiting volunteers who are passionate about their community and who wish to make a difference in their local environment.

Each volunteer will be supplied with an A-Z handbook of issues which they may wish to report and the appropriate contact details as to who to report them to. The issues may be: a full litter bin, a broken street light, flooding, a fly tip etc and the organisations could be Breckland Council, Anglian Water, Norfolk County Council, Environment Agency etc.

Rangers can, if they wish, organise a litter pick in their community on land which Breckland Council wouldn’t normally clear. We can help with setting up insurance to cover the activity and help you to approach private land owners if theirs is the land you wish to pick. Equipment is available for litter picking and is stored in each of the towns in the district.

Through the scheme we hope to enhance a sense of community in the area and the local environment will therefore stay looking at its best. Rangers can be proud to know they helped out through aiding the organisation contacted to respond efficiently to deal with problems.

If you are interested in becoming a Community ranger please contact Street Scene on 01362 656878 for more information.
