WatchNK
North Kesteven District Council know that having a clean environment is extremely important to our residents. To this end, we are embarking on an exciting new partnership.
Working with Hill Holt Wood, and our leisure partner, Leisure Connection, we are tackling environmental crime by introducing a new countryside ranger service.
Under the name of WatchNK the Ranger Service will:
• Report abandoned vehicles, littering and fly tipping;
• Undertake programmed and reactive litter picking;
• Allow rangers authorised by the District Council to issue fixed penalty notices for littering and dog fouling offences; and
• Encourage Rangers to forge links with Parish Councils.
Hill Holt Wood works with excluded, at risk or unemployed young people to manage the countryside. Based at Norton Disney, Hill Holt Wood manages the woodland in a traditional sense, but also uses the woodland to provide employment, education and training.
The new scheme forms part of the District Council’s work to implement the new environmental laws, under the Clean Neighbourhood and Environment Act.
