They engage with local schools, run activities for young people and liaise with vulnerable and elderly residents.
A council spokesman added: “Wardens offer advice on crime prevention and refer crime incidents to the police, acting as professional witnesses. They are not, however, a replacement for the police, nor are they an emergency service.”
The Billingshurst Warden scheme is funded by Billingshurst Parish Council and managed by Horsham District Council.
The spokesman said: “If you would like to contact either Julie or Barry, you can do so by emailing [email protected] or calling Julie on 07795 051529 or Barry on 07795 051516.”
