Emeritus Prof Christopher May

The war on the homeless continues in Lancashire;. removing the shelter(s) of rough sleepers is one more attack on the vulnerable.

Leaving homeless people (rough sleepers) without tents is just inhumane as we head into winter.

If you want to do something about rough sleeping, how about finding them shelter?

Using an attack on a councillor as the justification looks a lot like collective punishment.... as always, lashing out at the weak is easy politics.
