This petition is to recognise the barbaric nature of city wardens reporting the homeless to the police as a nuisance when the reason of homelessness is due to the Leicester City Council's failure to honour the duty of care set in place to safeguard residents of the United Kingdom, including but not limited to, the homeless.


Every day, if you go out to the city centre and just wait, you will see at least one homeless man sitting down, minding his own business, not causing obstruction or harassing the public or begging, get moved on due to reports from City Wardens.


How dare a member of council staff have a homeless man moved on because they failed to provide adequate accommodation! It is barbaric to say to very least.


All complaints can be directed to this email address:

The momentum behind this is beginning to pull at the edges of their silence. It has been a long and draining struggle to keep this visible but knowing so many of you are watching gives me the grit to keep going.

As long as the homeless are not being begging they should be left alone by the police /council. They need help what help is moving them on to another place going to do?

why target those who are doing no wrong but trying to keep alive on our streets?

I think it is shocking that there is not any support for the homeless. I have been homeless and I feel the pain of people on the streets good bless them all

Priorities are very skewed in the UK. Why is the government spending ludicrous amounts of money on city rejuvenation if we have loads of homeless people begging and living in those same streets? What's likely to put people off more? I'd say the people with nowhere to go. And quite a few of those homeless people are not out on the street by choice. They've lost jobs, lost homes, lost everything. And nobody helped them, they slipped through the cracks of social services. They can't claim any sort of benefits to help themselves out because you need an address for that, but you need money to have a place to live in order to pay the rent. I'd rather my taxes went towards helping people rather than flowers being planted in the spring.

Every one deserves to have a home not stuck out on the street in this type of weather or any weather

if this government helped stop this, no one should be homeless or moved on, its a public area not private land
