SEVEN local youngsters are making reparation for misdemeanours and anti-social behaviour by cleaning the streets.

They are the latest group of tearaways to carry out a probation service-supervised Community Payback scheme, in Middlesbrough.

The youngsters concentrated yesterday on cleaning up around the demolition earmarked St Hilda's area of Middlesbrough. But the Payback team will be working with the Streetscene force on a range of cleaning and gardening projects for a week.
