Bournemouth, Poole & Christchurch Council Is The Number 1 Worst Council Anywhere In The UK For Their Constant Bashing & Lack Of Support For Their Homeless & Rough Sleeping Communities

Bournemouth, Christchurch and Poole Council are the worst council in the UK for looking after it’s population of homeless and rough sleeping communities.

In 2015, the Council played music from Alvin and the Chipmunks and bagpipes to deter rough sleepers at Bournemouth coach station.
Again in June 2016, the Council bought one-way train tickets for rough sleepers to move them out the area.

Bournemouth, Poole And Christchurch Council has been targeting our local community of homeless and rough sleeping community going right back to 2015 and even before then.

Local charities, groups and organisations who help those who are homeless or rough sleeping have been carrying out absolutely amazing work within our community, however the council haven’t always had the best interests of the homeless in mind when deciding what to do within the town and its surrounding areas.

At the time of posting this article, BCP Council have not responded to our multiple requests for their opinions or comments about this issue.
