Provide adequate storage solutions: Homeless in Liverpool City Centre.

Rejected 12 signatures

What the petition asks

Discuss solutions to the issues around peoples possessions being destroyed or damaged when living on the streets. The little possessions that they have are often destroyed or damaged or carried around day and night.

I think the government and parliament have the ultimate power to ensure a solution materialises. This is an issue that ultimately stops people who are vulnerable getting help from services. The extra weight to carry around and the constant worry at the back of their minds that someone may take or damage their belongings stops them visiting housing services and homeless services. By dealing with this issue the government will be enduring that the services that are I place to help are accessible.

Why it was rejected

It asked for something that is not the responsibility of the UK Government or Parliament.

Support for the homeless in Liverpool City Centre is a matter for the local authority, not the Government or House of Commons.
