• Reporting defects and maintenance issues to the relevant authority
• Managing informal groups and rough sleepers professionally and sensitively
• Supporting events in parks and open spaces
• Patrolling parks, cemeteries and car parks and securing them out of hours
• Enforcement activity

The Ranger Service is available 7 days a week from 6am to midnight.
