Introducing Our New Community Wardens

Joe Dyke and Kathryn Jones are the Community Wardens for the Student Community Partnership. Our aim is to be on hand to improve the experience for all residents in areas where students are living. We focus particularly on the appearance of student HMOs (houses of multiple occupation) and the environment around them. Sustainability is a passion of ours and we are experts in recycling! We like to share our knowledge and are happy to help you get on top of your rubbish! You may see us on your street out on our daily walking rounds or on one of our monthly litter picks in our fetching blue uniforms. If you want any help or advice about living in Bath come and talk to us!
