Punched, Kicked and Spat on: The ’24 Hours Homless’ Project
As fixed pavement deterrents are used to clear Britain’s streets of homeless, our man spends a day down and out in London
My concrete mattress outside the shop window is cold and bone-achingly hard – just like life on the streets for Britain’s forgotten homeless. Night after night 2,400 people sleep rough in doorways and pavements across the country.
But this “unsightly and unwanted” band of homeless people is facing an added difficulty – spikes are being put up in regular resting places.
This week there was controversy when pimply metal slabs were fitted outside a block of flats in London to repel those looking for a place to rest.
Only a petition signed by 130,000 angry people in Southwark, South London, forced the removal of a method normally used to keep pigeons off roofs.
I might as well be a pigeon tonight, not worth a glance, as I spend 24 hours roughing it on the street just a couple of miles from those flats in Southwark.
