Convicts get busy in Osterley

Posted by Jessica Thomas on Nov 24, 08 05:43 PM in Local Authority

Convicted criminals were sent out into Wyke Green earlier this month to clear up a notorious fly-tipping hotspot as part of a successful 'payback' scheme.

Osterley and Spring Grove Safer Neighbourhood Team carried out the first Operation Community Payback event in Osterley Lane in September 2005.

Offenders and police worked side by side for two months clearing litter, shrubbery and self-sown trees.

And earlier this month a team of offenders with community orders revisited the site after reports from residents the lane was again becoming overgrown and subject to fly tipping.

Sgt Hannah Evans said: "Through the clear up of this area under Operation Community Payback, Osterley & Spring Grove Safer Neighbourhoods Team and the London Probation Service have assisted in improving the quality of life for the residents of Osterley Lane."
