Northamptonshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone’s Immediate Justice Team helped ensure that a church garden in Towcester looked its best ahead of its Remembrance service last Sunday.
The Immediate Justice programme sees that people who commit anti-social behaviour are served justice for their crimes.
People are referred to the programme by police after committing anti-social behaviour and pay for their crimes by taking part in reparative activities that are meaningful, visible and community focused.
In this case, two adults, one man and one woman, were referred to the programme after they were caught committing drug offences and assault.
The offenders spent a total of 26 hours at St Lawrence’s church in Towcester, clearing weeds, bushes and gravestones in preparation for the garden to be adorned with poppies for the service.
