Allow Homeless People to Use Tents in Order to Survive The Cold
Rejected
13 signatures
What the petition asks
Prevent the Home Secretary from banning the use of tents for many rough sleepers.
Over 250,000 citizens within the UK are currently homeless.
For many UK citizens homelessness is not a choice. Homeless people do not have this privilege. The use of a basic tent will be a lifeline to survive the freezing cold this winter. Without it, they may not survive.
This petition has been set up to ask all UK citizens to stop the proposed law from taking effect and to potentially save lives this winter.
Thank You
