At present members of the public have very little information as to how to contact their park wardens. Instead of dialling 999 for police if there is concern over suspicious activities in parks would it not be more practicable to have a contact database with contact numbers for park wardens and park rangers at local police stations. Are there any plans to have an updated contact database of park wardens and rangers in local police stations?

The law seems to refer specifically to domestic and industrial premises noise nuisance - and there appears to be neither the legal nor enforcement framework in place to tackle this extremely antisocial behaviour. Would you recommend the introduction of statutory regulation say through the proposed Road Safety Bill?
