Consultation - Community Payback

Surrey Probation Service are keen to support Spelthorne with suitable initiatives around the Borough. The ethos behind Community Payback is that the community themselves have an opportunity to influence what work is carried out. Councillors who regularly consult with and listen to the concerns of our constituents are ideally placed to propose appropriate tasks for offenders on community payback schemes.
Main activities covered by Community Payback include litter-picks, graffiti removal, gardening, repairing items in charity shops,and painting & decorating. This is an excellent opportunity for residents to influence the decision making process and the benefits of which can be seen in a highly visible and productive way. Further, the community will also be able to see that through use of Community Payback, Spelthorne is active and serious in the fight against crime and disorder and thus give greater confidence to the community about that commitment.
Please do contact me if you have any suggestions for schemes for Ashford.
