Greens Say Rough Sleeping Services Inadequate

In response to the comments by Cllr Mike Rowley, Board Member for Housing, Green Shadow Spokesperson for Housing, Cllr David Thomas says: "How can the Council deny the evidence all around us - more people are rough sleeping than ever before and services, which were previously adequate, are no longer able to cope. This human tragedy demands action. These people have suffered enough - they need hope and support, not excuses."
