Young offenders had to paint over a wall covered in graffiti in Hainault Road, Collier Row in a project organised by Havering Council recently. The group of half a dozen offenders from Havering had to do the work on Saturday as part of their Community Reparation. The location was chosen after complaints from local people about graffiti vandalism.
The Council supervised the work along with Police officers from the Mawneys Safer Neighbourhoods Team. The Council also supplied the paint and brushes.
Mawneys Ward Action Member, Graham Price (pictured above inspecting recent graffiti in the ward) said "It is good news that young offenders are working to clean up the local streets after committing offences, they learn a lesson and the community benefit from the work".
