The post of community warden on the Earlsfield estate in Grantham had been originally been temporary.

Created as a two-year-long experiment by South Kesteven District Council, it saw a reduction in poor behaviour on the estate.

Sandra Mullins has been made permanent in the role, in recognition of the progress she had made.

She said: "It can only get better. We've started two years chipping away on the Earlsfield.

"There's some exciting new projects coming up, we've a lot of good work still to come up so watch this space."
