The #CriminalJusticeBill is due to replace the archaic #VagrancyAct but could still see #roughsleepers facing jail or a fine of up to £2,5k for an 'excessive smell'
Help us to help them by reporting locations of rough sleepers to #outreach teams via: thestreetlink.org.uk.

It’s a national disgrace that nearly 600 people died on our streets in 2017.
The Govt must act now to tackle homelessness & prevent more unnecessary deaths.
Start by scrapping the #VagrancyAct
Stop criminalising vulnerable people.
Provide support & accommodation to those in need.
I'm proud to have led the campaign and secured the repeal of the #VagrancyAct , ensuring rough sleepers are no longer criminalised. 1/2
📣 We've scrapped the #VagrancyAct
UK Parliament took the historic step to repeal the Vagrancy Act last night & send a clear message to those sleeping on the street that we will help and support them to turn their lives around... 1/3

Coverage in the Cambrian News of a cross-party campaign of which Plaid Cymru 🏴 MP Liz Saville Roberts is a co sponsor calling for the repeal of the draconian #VagrancyAct which still classifies homelessness as a crime.

Our residents researched the Vagrancy Act for our history project. A law from nearly 200 years ago cannot possibly be suited to a complex modern society. #VagrancyAct
Quite a day yesterday. Big congratulations to my colleagues in Department for Levelling Up, Housing & Communities #Homelessness Policy and the cross-sector, cross-party campaign that saw the government table an amendment to the #PolicingBill that will see the 200yo #VagrancyAct repealed. #RoughSleeping is not a crime.
There's been a shameful lack of action from the government on the #VagrancyAct and rough sleepers can still be criminalised for having nowhere to go. Speak out now, share our petition and demand change #ScrapTheAct petition.parliament.uk/petitions/5855…
