Community Payback in your neighbourhood now!

Have you seen people in your neighbourhood wearing bright orange bibs and cleaning up graffiti? They’re part of a scheme called Community Payback which seeks to make offenders pay back the community for their crimes. They wear bright orange bibs so you can see that justice is being done. The scheme has been used in Prebendal Farm, Mandeville, and Elm Farm in Aylesbury following requests from residents for graffiti and litter to be cleaned up. This work benefits the community and means the offenders pay back the community for their crimes, something you have told us you want to see.

Projects can include removing graffiti, picking up litter, repairing and decorating community buildings, and working on environmental projects. Community Payback is a tough and visible consequence for people who have committed a crime. About 300’000 hours of community service, or approximately £1.5m of free labour is provided each year to communities across
Thames Valley.
