Suella Braverman is proposing new laws to fine some rough sleepers using tents.
A rough sleeper service has helped reduce the number of people on the streets from 36 in 2018 to four in November 2023, West Suffolk Council saidTwo prominent councillors have condemned Home Secretary Suella Braverman's plans to restrict the use of tents by rough sleepers.
West Suffolk Council cabinet member for housing, Labour's Richard O'Driscoll, said fines were "fundamentally" wrong.The proposals were not outlined in the King's Speech, setting out the government's priorities for the year ahead, but He continued that the council recognised some people may not be ready for help, as they continued to struggle with complex needs, such as mental health conditions or substance addiction.
Ms Murray, who is also an Ipswich borough councillor, said the plans showed a "real lack of understanding"."Most of us in a normal income are one failed pay cheque away from losing everything anyway, especially in this current climate."
