Residents of Newcastle are invited to have their say on what Community Payback projects should be carried out as a punishment for criminals in their local area.

The following five parks have been picked as potential tasks for offenders to carry out.
Blakelaw Park
Bluebell Dene
Exhibition Park
Fawdon Park
North Kenton Park

Community payback gives offenders a chance to ‘pay back’ to local communities by doing work which helps to improve and enhance the environment. It does not replace paid employment but compliments work carried out by Newcastle City Council.

The project with the most votes will be the area where offenders in community payback are sent to clean up.


Voting closes 24 April 2009. The winning project will be announced in June
