Let's End Rough Sleeping By 2012 Petition: Signature List Feed http://www.gopetition.com/signatures/lets-end-rough-sleeping-by-2012.html Online petition signatures en-us Sun, 19 Apr 2026 06:03 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition Mr Benjamin Leigh [Signature #173] https://www.gopetition.com/signature/locate/13657829?utm_medium=rss From the age of 12 I spent my first night on the streets, With services like the police fully aware of this. Councils have sent me from one side of the country to the other in efforts to make me "not their responsibility". In total I have spent 6 years of my life in poor conditions with barely any money and none of the charities would help without me having use of fax machines and a care of postal address. Although shelter has a better picture on the national statistics I still believe there is a massive number of people being moved into cornwall in an attempt to wipe homeless people out of their area. For example I'm from a remote part of Cumbria. So far I've been sent to Sunderland, York and Cornwall, All of these places could not provide permanent accommodation from councils since I have had no local connection to those areas. Being homeless had lead me to drug misuse, Shoplifting, Alcohol misuse and suicide attempts. Though anything I had to do or whatever position I was in seemed as though nobody cared and I was treated like everything was my fault.

There is a day hostel in the next street from me but the 24 hour off-license at the other end of the road and shop doorways by it offer some shelter during the hours the hostel is closed. There is no excuse or justification for those who wish to be off the streets to be living on them. I am in constant disbelief that in the year 2012 begging is illegal but homelessness prevalent.

Everybody deserves & should have the right to a home in this day of age & right procedures have to take place to identify the reasons (mental health/drugs/alcohol abuse)as to why people become homeless aswell as what can keep them off the streets.Real tangible action should take place not just policies which don't seem to always materialise. Homelessness should be a top priority to combat.
