Offenders have made amends by clearing litter from the streets of Balsall Heath, after a tip-off by local police.

Staffordshire & West Midlands Probation Trust were contacted by West Midlands Police, who responded to requests from local residents.

SWM Probation Trust’s Community Payback team has worked in partnership with nearby St Paul’s Community Trust, and its urban farm, for fourteen years. Meanwhile, offenders deliver the local free newspaper, the Balsall Heathen, to hundreds of homes in the area.
