At the invitation of Christine Holmes JP, my predecessor as High Sheriff, I attended the Performing Arts Centre, Shrewsbury College, to see the “play” put on by Theatre Clwyd for schools in Shropshire so that pupils can appreciate the the consequences of falling foul of the police and the justice system. It is an initiative that has been highly successful in reducing juvenile crime in North Wales and is supported by the Magistrates Association and the police in Shropshire. The Mayor of Telford, Councillor Stephen Reynolds, also attended with a view to introducing the event into Telford & Wrekin.
