Stoke-on-Trent Community Payback scheme

The Community Payback scheme is a scheme whereby offenders are sentenced to work in the community. It is unpaid: offenders are supervised and learn new skills: nobody makes a profit. In the year to March, 2008 over 140,000 hours work were completed in Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent.

The projects in Stoke-on-Trent this week are:-
