Although I'd take Newport over Merthyr, that makes Thurnscoe look desirable Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't matter if you're in your prime; a pavement is just as cold and hard if you're 26 or 56. Moreover a council telling a woman that she'd cope living on the streets is just shocking. The average mortality age of a woman living on the street is 43 years old, and the council will know this. So to be so blase when they know she's in for an early death is sickening.

No-one should be condemned to a life on the street. We're the 6th richest country in the world. There's no need 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
crookesey Posted April 30 Share Posted April 30 It would be wonderful if it and many other such things were history, but they’re not, I wish that I had the answer, but I don’t. Folk running amok with knives and swords also concerns me, but once again I don’t have the answer. I reckon that as long as we show our concerns, our questions might just be a little closer to being answered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Homelessness should never be accepted. Even if on a short term basis, people have to live in a B&B until something more permanent becomes available, that's preferable to being told 'you'll manage living on the street'. What kind of a head**** is that? Concerns mean nothing until officialdom get off their arses and work to a solution. We eradicated rough sleeping during the pandemic; and under the last Labour Government rough sleeping was cut bu over two thirds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Some say its great. Is our society out of control and more violent? Homelessness can be a choice, but anyone 'running around' with knives needs hospitalisation or jail.
