Well, there you go. If it was the police rather than a democratic surge of acclamation from the people, at least you start with no neighbourhood support which then melts away, and you will need all your survival skills from the outset.
That is a difference it makes.Hi, we’ve had to remove your signature. If you’re not sure why please read the forum rules or email the forum team if you’re still unsure - MSE ForumTeam0 -
It sounds like you are doing the exact job your democratically elected member should be doing. Dealing with things like bins and parking is the job of the ward local councillor, and one he/she gets handsome expenses for each year.
I'd find out who your councillor is and pass the problems on to them.
If you've been asked to do the role by the police then they should have provided you with adequate training.0 -

gabyjane: I've just looked back at your previous thread on the neighbourhood coordinator thing (the one that got no replies). That post suggested that you had taken on the role of the Neighbourhood WATCH coordinator - and that certainly fits what you say about the police giving you the role.
If so, then the purpose of Neighbourhood Watch is about trying to prevent crime - noticing suspicious things happening in the street etc. It's got nothing whatsoever to do with bins or parking or any of those things. You can find out about the Neighbourhood Watch Coordinator role here: http://www.crimereduction.homeoffice.gov.uk/neighbourhoodwatch/nwatch0203.htm

The police really should have explained the role to you much better than they did. You will have a NHW liaison office at your local police force who you should be able to approach with questions.
If people are coming to you with problems over bins or parking you should refer them to your local councillor: they are not your problem.0 -
