The home secretary has announced plans to restrict the use of tents by homeless people as she vowed to crack down on 'aggressive begging'.
Suella Braverman has claimed rough sleeping is a "lifestyle choice" amid plans to restrict the use of tents used by homeless people on the streets.
Ms Braverman shared the comments along with a Financial Times article reporting on her plans to introduce restrictions on the use of tents in urban environments, including fining charities for handing out tents if they're deemed to have caused a nuisance. According to the FT report, the potential legislation would also look to prevent the obstruction of shop doorways by rough sleepers who are using tents under plans being pitched to be included in the King’s Speech, which will set out the government’s legislative agenda on Tuesday.
"This... combined with decades of government failure to build genuinely affordable social homes is what is driving record levels of homelessness and leaving thousands of people on the streets.who have fallen into homelessness and been left with no alternative but to sleep in a tent, after being told by the council their temporary accommodation had run out.
“This policy will do nothing to stop rough sleeping and will leave vulnerable people to face the harsh weather conditions without any shelter whatsoever.”
