Tonbridge & Malling Borough Council is looking for volunteers to join its Street Monitors’ Scheme so if you are good at spotting problems while you are out and about in the borough then we’d like to hear from you!

The Street Monitors’ Scheme began as a pilot project in West Malling in 2003 and was so successful that it has now expanded across the borough.

Street Monitors are community volunteers who report street-related problems such as littering, dog fouling, graffiti, abandoned cars and fly-tipping to the Borough Council.  Volunteers are not asked to go out of their way to find problems but to report things they notice while they are out and about so that issues can be sorted out as quickly as possible.

Tamsin Ritchie, the Council’s Environmental Projects Co-ordinator, says: “Street Monitors provide a vital link between the Council and communities across the borough.  We know that clean and tidy streets and parks are very important to our residents – that’s why improving our environment is one of our key priorities.  Street Monitors can be individuals or part of group and I hope that more volunteers will contact us to join the scheme this summer.”
