A stretch of an historic footpath in Shropshire has been restored as part of a community project for offenders.
Work has been carried out on a stretch of the Monarch’s Way footpath through a project delivered by the Probation Service working in partnership with landed estates business Bradford Estates.
Previously, the communities in the villages of Weston-under-Lizard and Tong have benefitted from the repainting of the village lychgate, the strimming of a popular permissive path and maintenance of the graveyard in Weston as well as the renovation of a community water feature opposite St Bartholomew’s Church in Tong.
People convicted of certain crimes can be sentenced to between 40 and 300 hours of Community Payback, previously known as Community Service. Bradford Estates Managing Director Alexander Newport said: “We have a great relationship with the Ministry of Justice and have supported more than 250 people on probation completing restoration and environmental work across the estates.
