“Maybe one park warden for a town of over 5,000 people. They’d have multiple roles – a dog warden, litter warden, parking warden – everything to do with outdoor spaces.
“They could issue fines if a dog wasn’t on its lead, a dog fouling, littering, people drinking in public spaces which we do have byelaws but they’re never enforced. All these things could be dealt with by one person.”
