Safety

One of the Council's priorities is to create safer communities. These pages contain information on the range of services helping to achieve this.

Arson reduction

Waste stored in skips or wheelie bins can be a primary target for the arsonist. By storing waste sensibly the risk to property can be reduced.

Community safety

Calderdale Council's approach to achieving the targets set out in the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act.

Community wardens

Community Wardens provide high profile foot patrols in residential areas of the Borough as well as a range of services to make our streets and public spaces cleaner and safer. This section lists the services they provide and contact details.

Home fire safety

Taking simple precautions within the home and fitting a fire alarm can reduce the chances of a home fire. The Fire and Rescue Service will also visit homes to check for potential problems.

Park rangers

Our parks and cemeteries are patrolled by Park Rangers who help to maintain the areas so visitors have a clean, safe and enjoyable experience.

Preparing for emergencies

Every family needs to plan for what might happen in the event of an emergency, such as a flood or fire. A few minutes thinking about it now could make a big difference if the unexpected happens.

Road safety

On these pages you can learn how to stay safe on Calderdale’s roads. There is also an overview of the work and contact details of the Calderdale Road Safety Unit.
