The Immediate Justice Team from the Office of Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner Danielle Stone have been facilitating reparative work in Daventry, in partnership with Daventry Town Council.
Immediate Justice Supervisor Clive Sparling met with the council and local police officers to identify areas of concern in Daventry that the programme could help to clear up.
Two people who have committed anti-social behaviour were referred to the programme by police officers. Instead of being prosecuted, they spent 4 hours each repaying for their crimes by clearing pathways and cutting back vegetation in Tamar Square and the Medway Grange estate, aiming to make the areas a cleaner, more welcoming place to live.
This work in the area has taken place as part of the Home Office’s Safer Streets Summer campaign.
The campaign is being led locally by Danielle’s office, in partnership with police, fire and rescue, councils, schools, health services, business, transport and community organisations.
