The government should put rough sleepers as first priority for accommodation

Rejected 21 signatures

What the petition asks

The government can't continue to take in so called asylum seekers & settling them in the UK. Local councils & the government should remove every single rough sleeper off the streets & put them up in hotels. Army barracks or a hostel. unfortunately they are left on the streets & forgotten about.
So called asylum seekers are also adding to the population of the UK we have nearly 70 million
people living here. Already. The local councils are put under pressure to build more housing everywhere because of mass migration.This can't continue or we will lose countryside woodland and green belt including local parks.& farm land. Wildlife animals will become extinct. They are already declining because their habitats are destroyed. On a daily basis.
