· In the cold, windswept tunnels beneath the Royal Parks they stand, in single file with mop and bucket. They are a 21st-century chain gang reluctantly returning the beauty to the grubbier corners of the royal wedding route. Over their blue boiler suits are orange jackets with the words "Community Payback" printed on the back.
· "We set up this scheme because we wanted get the place sorted out and looking nice for the royal wedding," says Lisa Houslin, the Community Payback Scheme Manager in charge of the project. Over the next four weeks offenders with convictions ranging from driving offences to public disorder will clean the pedestrian tunnels beneath Hyde Park Corner, a key thoroughfare for the expected millions who will arrive from all corners of the globe to witness the nuptials of Prince William and Kate Middleton.
. Community Payback, coming to a corner near you soon?
