Open up empty buildings in BATH
Follow the lead of Manchester and open up empty buildings for homeless people this winter. There are hundreds of empty buildings/potential accommodation in Bath. There is no need for anyone to be homeless. To ignore this petition is a disgrace when so many people need help to get them on the right track! A roof over their heads can be the start of a great recovery. I was homeless once and, to this day, remember the help being given a place in a hostel was to me.
Why is this important?
To plead to the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.
