Demolition of Lucy Faithful House commences
Greens express outrage as City Council commences demolition of LFH homeless accommodation claiming ‘no viable use’. Says Green Cllr and homelessness campaigner David Thomas, "It is simply outrageous to suggest that Lucy Faithful House is not needed. We have seen a quadrupling of rough sleeping numbers in Oxford since 2010; three times the increase seen elsewhere. And providing only 50% 'affordable' housing on-site, when this is our own land and our own housing company doing the project, is just a tragic joke. This is the same sort of level of affordable housing that we would expect any private developer to provide. To also suggest that Lucy Faithful House is somehow beyond repair is also a nonsense. Certainly, it needed refurbishment but Riverside, the previous operators, were very happy to continue to operate the building as a homeless shelter. The homeless are not helped by such mis-information. What they need is better support services and a warm and safe space to sleep at night." FMI: Cllr David Thomas 07792 527421
