Here is the long standing government position on Neighbourhood Wardens
http://www.neighbourhood.gov.uk/page.asp?id=576

THIS IS WHAT IT SAYS [See below for Hyndburns funding source]:
ODPM Funding for Warden Programmes

Total grant funding for neighbourhood wardens is £91m running from 2000/01 to 2005/06. This has funded 245 schemes. There have been three rounds of grant programmes:

Neighbourhood wardens (2000)
Street wardens (2001)
Street crime wardens (2002)

The recent decision to give the second and third rounds parity of treatment with the first round, means that each will last 3.5 years. Funding for the first round neighbourhood wardens ended in March 2004. Funding for the second round street wardens ends in March 2005 and funding ends for the third round street crime wardens ends in March 2006. There are no plans for further rounds of funding. In addition there are at least another 250 schemes funded from outside the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister Grant Programme.

Hyndburns comes from Govt NRF funding. Hyndburn BC got £2.9m to kick start and help mainstream the initiatives it came up with, wardens being one of them. ie to give monies to help because of the risk involved in new schemes, therefore this is up front monies to kick start..etc...
see here http://www.neighbourhood.gov.uk/page.asp?id=611

The Neighbourhood Renewal Fund (NRF) aims to enable England's 88 most deprived authorities, in collaboration with their Local Strategic Partnership (LSP), to improve services, narrowing the gap between deprived areas and the rest of the country.

A key element of the strategy is the improvement of mainstream services to produce better outcomes in the most deprived areas.
