TRANMERE Rovers manager John Barnes teamed up with the probation service to help offenders clean up an estate.
As part of the Community Payback scheme, the former Liverpool star met with people on community work orders at Kirkdale’s Westminster estate yesterday.
The project, based around the Tees Street and Westminster Road area, includes cutting back branches and trees, fence painting and clearing debris.
Cllr Marilyn Fielding, Liverpool’s executive member for safer, stronger communities, said: “People who have been given community orders are able to make amends for what they have done in a constructive way which benefits the wider community.”
The estate was chosen as part of a Liverpool-wide vote to decide how offenders should contribute to the city.
