Crawley MP Henry Smith has got behind a rehabilitation revolution for young offenders.
Almost three quarters of young offenders return to crime when they are released and Justice Secretary Chris Grayling says this must change.
Currently, young offenders only spend on average 12 hours a week in education.
Under new proposals this would be more than doubled to give young offenders much more time in the classroom or workshop to help them develop the skills they need to turn their back on crime.
Many Local Matches Postponed Due to Weather
Crystal Palace enjoyed a crucial victory beating Stoke City by one goal to nil at Selhurst Park on Saturday afternoon. Jason Puncheon – who last week missed a penalty against Tottenham – was the scorer just after half time. The result takes the Eagles out of the relegation zone and lifts them to 16th place, but there’s still much to do to ensure survival in the top flight.
Many local fixtures were affected by the weather and will be re-scheduled at a future date. Crawley Town’s encounter with Wolves was postponed after a pitch inspection on Friday and the matches between Horsham and Merstham, Redhill and Corinthian Casuals, Crawley Down Gatwick and Hastings Utd, Three Bridges and Herne Bay and South Park versus Colliers Wood also fell victim to the weather.

It’s the time of year when Susy Engineers take kit out of service for maintenance and testing.
This weekend, as the weather is mild, is the turn of the Outside Broadcast Roadshow trailer which is loaned to Susy Radio by the Outdoor Sound Company and Chair Neil Munday.
Neil says
“good preventative maintenance and inspection helps the new season run smoothly.
Ok, the odd issue arises along the way but things do with a mobile unit containing 200m of Audio cabling. The unit has to be checked for road worthiness and safety plus, and fixings and fittings checked for security”.
SUSY Radio is lucky that Neil is a trained engineer from the sound and lighting industry, and also a qualified electrician – so knows his way around an XLR !
