Community wardens have a broad range of functions, which fall under three main headings, namely, community liaison; the enforcement of a range of local authority functions, including certain traffic offences, litter offences and casual trading; and the monitoring of housing estates, tourist attractions and public amenities and the reporting of breaches of environmental or planning legislation. There are no plans at present to expand this role.
