What the petition asks
The past few years have been even more uncomfortable for Britain's homeless community, with spikes being fitted in doorways and possessions being stolen and then disposed of like waste.
These people deserve better quality of life and alot more respect!
These people deserve better quality of life and alot more respect!
Earlier this year a close friend took his own life, his items sold and money raised at his funeral had been donated to the mental health charity MIND.
Tents and sleeping bags were purchased and donated to the homeless community in memory of Ashley Dair.
Soon after this Manchester council gave only a 3 hour notice to the homeless to move on!
Where would they go?
They have no other options that would involve 'not breaking the law' due to wild camping restrictions.
Please change this law now!
