The timing of BBC1’s Countryfile featuring the <strong>Malvern</strong> <strong>Hills</strong> in the spring of a<br />
recession year, gave a valuable insight into the work of the Wardens and Field staff<br />

million viewers and boosted tourism in the area.<br />
Managing anti-social behaviour<br />
With 19,000 residents as your neighbours, together with receiving over a million<br />
visitors in a year, it is always good to record that there are few incidents that cause<br />
problems. From time to time we do have the occasional incident where we have to<br />
act in the public interest. At Guarlford tyres were being dumped on common land<br />
under our jurisdiction, a quote for removing the tyres was in the region of £1 per tyre.<br />

Environment Agency stepped in to help and through contacts traced those that had<br />
placed the tyres on the land and through negotiation, got them moved.<br />
