2008 - TANGMERE JUNIOR WARDENS FLYING!

Make the Commitment

Working together with West Sussex County Council, Tangmere Primary School

and Chichester District Council, Junior Community Wardens campaigned through the summer for safer driving on the streets of Tangmere. They  carried out asurvey of road signs, parking problems and suitable locations for safety messages following this up by running a poster competition at the school for all of the pupils to enter to raise awareness of road safety issues.

At Tangmere’s Celebration Day, as well as announcing the poster winner they asked residents to sign a declaration to Make the Commitment to slow down and drive safely - managing to collect about 100 signatures! The road signs are now on display in Tangmere and we are working on the next stage of the project. The children are  also designing a banner which will be displayed on Meadow Way.

Celebration Day – Festival Visit

Tangmere’s Junior Wardens joined forces with the Juniors from

Chichester and Selsey to spend a few fun filled days at the

Festival Theatre’s art and crafts workshop, making dolphins,

jellyfish and banners to carry in the parade.

Their colourful creatures made a wonderful contribution to the

day’s celebrations.

Last December, ten Junior Wardens, ranging in age from 9 -11

years old, demonstrated the range of work they carry out

and the skills they have acquired since becoming Junior
