Parish Wardens & Helpers

Parish Wardens are volunteers who help the Parish and the Parish Council. Woodhouse Parish has three Wardens, an Allotments Manager, a Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator, a Community Champion for reporting grot spots and a litter-picker appointed by the Campaign to Protect Rural England [CPRE].

Tree Warden: Vacancy
The Tree Warden is consulted by Councillors when they are considering new planning applications where trees might be affected.

Archaeology Warden: Mr A J Holmes
The County Council used to consult Archaeology Wardens when planning applications involved land in Archaeological Alert Areas [we have these in both villages] which might uncover or affect archaeological remains. LCC no longer makes this arrangement.

Heritage Wardens: Cathy Schou & Kate Moore
These wardens are appointed by the County Council to help establish heritage projects, especially those involving local wildlife. They keep in touch with the Leicestershire Local Access Forum. The forums represent interests on public rights of way and countryside access and cover the interests of walkers, cyclists, horse-riders, runners, climbers, landowners, farmers, environmental & conservation groups, people involved in tourism, disabled & disadvantaged groups and public transport users.

CPRE Litter Picker: Mrs Pam Crankshaw

Pam has recruited two helpers - Liz Randall and Janet Whitmore - all three patrol local roads collecting litter from verges. The litter is mainly empty cans, bottles and fast food containers dropped by runners or walkers or thrown out of vehicles.
