Director of operations at New Lynx Housing Trust Jack Whyman said there are ‘no plans at the moment’ to cut warden services at The Close and Park Close.

But residents are not convinced and Liz Raymond of Park Close has written to Sir Peter Tapsell MP to appeal for his help.

She fears the hub and spoke warden service - where wardens are based at a central location and visit different communities, which is now implemented in Skegness - will come to Woodhall Spa.

She said: “Our community spirit will shrivel and die without our warden who arranges social events and trips for us.

“A number of us gave up our homes in order to enjoy the sense of security and peace of mind inherent in the presence of a warden, the loss of whom will be a serious detriment to our well being.

“Those of us without transport are cut off from mainstream life now and without a warden we will be even more isolated.”

Mrs Raymond said warden services and hours have reduced from a 24 hours a day, seven days per week to only three visits per week.

Mr Whyman explained that even in a hub and spoke service, residents have access to a 24 hour telephone helpline and an agreed frequency of visits for each individual is put in place.

The warden service operated by New Lynx is based on a contract with Lincolnshire County Council.
