I thought about it, but if you check the links you'll see it does not correspond to it, a pity though, it would have made our lives simpler. lol
agree RHELLER : or people working in the neighborhood (crossing guards, postal employees) ? vague

local worker

pour les magasins on dit commerce de proximité pour local shops

Il me semble que community worker ne veut pas dire la même chose
Peer comment(s):

disagree Tom Bishop : Par contre "local worker" veut dire tout simplement quelqu'un qui travaille localement, sans indiquer la nature du travail.

disagree Amandine (X) : non dans ce contexte un agent de proximite intervient dans les cites afin de tenter d'eviter les violences ou agressions. On ne parle pas de magasin
