No Homeless Spikes
Dear Mr Cameron,
We demand legislation outlawing the inhumane anti-homeless spikes such as those that have recently been installed as part of a new housing estate in Southwark.
We demand legislation outlawing the inhumane anti-homeless spikes such as those that have recently been installed as part of a new housing estate in Southwark.
Why is this important?
There has been a 37% rise in the amount of people sleeping rough since your government took power; 50000 families were accepted as homeless by their local authority in 2012/13 and the average life expectancy of a homeless person is 47.
These statistics sicken us. Show us you feel the same by outlawing these new deterrents to homeless people finding somewhere to sleep when they have nowhere else to go. We do not believe the removal of these spikes will stop homelessness, anymore than their installation will stop homelessness, but it may convince us that you and your government are not anti-homeless people.
