I'm all for retraining and cutting benefits if people refuse to work, but this idea sounds counterproductive.
Companies, and councils, that currently employ people to do this work would have to lay them off...and I suppose they'd then end up on one of these schemes, doing for free what they were once paid to do.

I can see your point Rindi, but when you look around I'm sure you have said more than once "why don't they do something about that" things that never get done. I think its a matter of doing away with the street corner culture which has sprung up over the last 10 to 15 years (and that is not a political comment). Although I'm a little older than you, but it did not happen when we were young, somehow we have to get back on track and at least this is a step in the right direstion, but there is a long way to go.
