Thurso woman allowed to continue unpaid work after no showing CPO appointments A Thurso woman who breached a community payback order after struggling with childcare during the school holidays has been allowed to continue with the order. Wick Sheriff Court heard the 30-year-old, who cannot be named for legal reasons, missed CPO (community payback order) appointments on July 20 and August 5 this year. Her solicitor, Fiona MacDonald, said the woman admitted the breach but had encountered childcare difficulties over the summer holidays. The court previously heard that on May 21 and June 21, 2025, the woman (30) was unable to properly care for the child, which she left alone with a dog in a house that was in a chaotic and dirty state, all to the danger of the child. Miss MacDonald said: “My client admits the breach but unfortunately has had child care difficulties over the summer holidays. “She only has 27 hours left to complete of her work order and is generally doing well.” Sheriff Neil Wilson said: “I can well understand [having] child care difficulties in the school holidays.” The sheriff said the order should continue and no further order would be issued. Fiscal depute Grant McLennan said this was acceptable to the Crown.
