The idea of fining those who already have so little is crazy, that they are forced to sleep out in the cold and ask for food or money is an indictment of our current system. We HAVE to provide shelter, care and support for those who want it. Could we please stop attacking vulnerable people and do something to resolve the issues of homeless people? We need Swindon Borough Council to focus on resolving the housing issues of the homeless people and families in Swindon - NOT fine those people who have nowhere else to go. This campaign is not politically motivate, it is about reaching out to our fellow human beings, it is about FEELING something for those who live on the streets of our community, it is about asking our local councillors to stop clearing the streets and start helping those who need it most. Please find it in your hearts to support this campaign – there for the grace of God……

With homelessness increasing across the UK and Northampton we should be dealing with the causes and spending money providing shelter, food and helping folks out of this situation. People asking for food and money are usually in need of society's help not punishment. People not in this situation are damn lucky though with societies safety nets being burnt by this government we may be far from being homeless or in need, so please support this petition.

The council, for some bizarre reason is seeking to fine the homeless. Not only will the homeless have no money, they will also have no fixed abode! Far rather the Council needs to open a new hostel for the homeless. They could fund it with the 10.5 million pounds they gave to Northampton Football club Directors - they need to get this back!

We have all lost our way in as much that this is a Christian country so we should show kindness and help to the needy.

As a nation, we are in a housing crisis!!! We just don't have enough housing and although some building is happening, I have not heard of any of them being social! Affordable housing is happening in places but is still beyond the poorest in society and this includes families with two working parents!!!! We need social housing NOW!!!! We need to get families out of private rental to save the excessive money used by councils to make up the shortfall in rent, to stop private land lords profiting from the governments poor housing planning for decades, and get everyone the houses they need/deserve! Use the money saved in rent on social care, mental health care and help the very weakest in society to get shelter too!!!!!!

Affordable housing is London's single biggest problem. We must allow London to evolve as it has over hundreds of years and that means change. The use of land to allow people to hark back to a quaint rural idyll does not belong in the 21st Century. We must do what we can to ensure key workers are able to live in London so it remains a great place to live, and we must not be putting key workers in positions where they live in poverty or have to live miserable lives commuting because we care more about vegetables than we do about people.

Homeless people could be fined up to £1,000 for sleeping in doorways near popular tourist spots, under new rules launched by a London council, and this is not the first or only council to invoke this ruling. It’s not clear how destitute rough sleepers are expected to pay. Hackney Council’s Public Space Protection Order bans sleeping in public places – offenders are handed a £100 fixed penalty, which can rise to £1,000 in court. Homelessness charities have condemned the move, saying that it turns rough sleepers – who are often escaping lives of abuse – into criminals. Rough sleepers deserve better than to be treated as a nuisance. Those who sleep on the streets are extremely vulnerable and often do not know where to turn for help.

Robert Carver urgently needs your assistance. He is a paraplegic with no use or feeling in either of his legs alongside numerous debilitating conditions including, fibromyalgia and colitis. Despite his severely debilitated condition, Brighton & Hove City Council are refusing to provide him with appropriate housing, causing him daily pain. For the past two years, Bobby has been unable to walk or use his legs. Through complete negligence on the part of Brighton and Hove Council, he is still housed in a second floor, temporary-accommodation flat, with a steep and narrow staircase, which is totally unsuitable for his needs. His social worker and many council professionals have witnessed, first-hand, that he has to lower himself down these stairs using only his arms, causing him to fall regularly. Bobby’s flat is also tiny, cramped and none of the doorways are suitable for wheelchairs. Because of this, he has to pull himself around on the floor, dragging his legs behind him, causing his body yet more damage every day. I am hoping to pressure Brighton and Hove City Council into providing the housing that Bobby should be getting already without a fight. For more information on Bobby’s fight please read the following article and watch the ITV piece below: http://www.itv.com/news/meridian/update/2016-10-12/helpless-prisoner-in-top-floor-flat/ https://brightonandhovehousingcrisis.wordpress.com/2016/11/18/perfectly-acceptable-in-brighton-hove/

In England this Evil tax has brought untold hardship on those on benefits, Some even taking there own lives due to the pressure and hardship this causes . I would like to Also know Why Scotland do Not pay this tax , But those in England Have to .. If the Past Governments had built enough social housing, When they sold many houses under the right to buy scheme, We would not have this problem and horrendous tax on the poor in society. Who have No properties to move in to to Down size " As the Governments. Did Not Build Them .

The Housing and Planning Act is a threat to all except the large landlords and developers making money from the housing crisis. Council, housing association and private tenants have a common interest in fighting the Act. So do local councils, housing associations, housing workers and trade unions. Those who are adequately housed themselves are concerned about where their children and grandchildren will live. The government wants to divide us, but we must unite to demand a decent housing future for all. One thing is certain: the Housing and Planning Act will make the housing crisis worse. There will be fewer truly affordable, secure, decent quality homes available for rent so, if they can’t afford to buy, more people will be forced into the unregulated private rented sector. The government dangles the dream of home-owning for all, but in reality it means the richest few buying up more homes, and renting them to the rest of us. This turns back the housing clock to the early 20th century when 90% of people in the UK rented privately. We mustn’t let this happen! THE HOUSING AND PLANNING ACT IS A THREAT TO US ALL! http://www.axethehousingact.org.uk

Because last year there were 2,463 refusals by service providers against disabled and impaired recipients of Assistance Dogs across the U.K.

The current system of creating money through the sale of ever increasing layers of debt, and now, the BofE operating an unaccountable balance sheet which defies principle or prudence, is plumbing the depths of fantasy economics, is unsustainable in nature. It is starting to resemble a listing pirate ship liable to sink at any moment. Only Sound money can deliver a reduction of inequality, a sustainable future for the environment and the next generation and re-establish trust in government, creating a new united kingdom that everyone can believe in.
