Rough Sleepers Forum

The council has been successful in addressing the problem of rough sleeping in the area.  The Council has met the Government's target of a 2/3 reduction in the number of people sleeping rough and has been successful in attracting extra funds into the area to prevent future rough sleeping.  The Rough Sleepers Forum meets quarterly to help formulate policy and look at ways of improving the health, welfare and resettlement of rough sleepers.

The Council also gives grants to voluntary agencies to enable them to carry out their work.
