Gloucester City Council has introduced a new policy to address issues caused by unruly rough sleepers who create a public nuisance in the city. The recently approved strategy targets unauthorised camping and aims to curb anti-social behaviour while providing essential support services to those in need.
This decision followed a series of complaints about rough sleepers' conduct in King’s Walk car park, prompting authorities to take action by relocating the group.
