Will invited Chris Grayling MP The Secretary of State for Justice to see the benefits of a community payback scheme in Saltburn firsthand. Will and local Councillor Philip Thomson explained the benefits to the Valley Gardens and miniature railway that the payback scheme was bringing. Chris heard from the groups organiser Tony, about some of the challenges he and his collegaues face on projects like these.
Will said "I was very please to be able to bring Chris here to have a look at restorative justice in action. Not only are the people invloved learning new skills, but they are actively involved in improving our area which brings with it pride and sense of purpose which is sometimes lacking".
