This is wrong – surely this is a very basic human right!
The figures from the Department for Communities and Local Government (DCLG) reveal 3,569 people were sleeping rough on any one night in autumn 2015 compared to 2,744 in autumn 2014.
It means the number of rough sleeping is nearly double what it was in 2010 when the Conservatives first came to power. The yearly increase is the highest since 2010.
The local authority with the highest number of rough sleepers was Westminster Council with 265. Bristol had the second highest number with 97 rough sleepers.
