Homeless People To Be Fined £1,000 For Sleeping Rough
How will they pay?
..................................................................
Homeless people could be fined up to £1,000 for sleeping in doorways near popular tourist spots, under new rules launched by a London council.
Homelessness charities have condemned the move, saying that it turns rough sleepers - who are often escaping lives of abuse - into criminals.
Hackney Council’s Public Space Protection Order bans sleeping in public places - offenders are handed a £100 fixed penalty, which can rise to £1,000 in court.
Matt Downie of homelessness charity Crisis said, ‘Rough sleepers deserve better than to be treated as a nuisance – they may have suffered a relationship breakdown, a bereavement or domestic abuse.
