Dorset homeless people face fines for sleeping in doorways under Tory plans
Homeless people in three coastal towns in Dorset could be fined for sleeping in doorways or leaving bedding and belongings in the street under proposals Conservative councillors are trying to push through.
The Tory politicians are arguing that a tough regime is needed in Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole to ease residents’ concerns and boost the area’s economy. But critics say the proposals risk criminalising some of the most vulnerable people in society rather than tackling the root cause of their situation.
This proposal risks criminalising anyone sleeping in a doorway or leaving bedding outside. On any evening there may be between five and 30 homeless people in Bournemouth town centre. Officers could walk through Bournemouth town centre and issue them all with fixed penalty notices that they wouldn’t be able to pay. It’s an unfair and illogical suggestion. This would cause huge distress.”
