Homelessness and Poverty in Bury St Edmunds
I was pleased to see so many people attending the meeting on Poverty and Homelessness in Bury St Edmunds on Friday. It was organised by the Christian Network for Justice and Peace and was very well attended. Representatives from Shelter, Gatehouse, the Borough Council and the Citizens Advice Bureau addressed the meeting. It is clear that while many volunteer organisations have stepped forward to help, after the Borough Closed the Night Shelter so many years go, there is a clear and consistent demand for emergency accommodation. A need that is not being met. According to the Borough Council, while there are over 5,000 people on the housing waiting list there are 146 homeless people in the Borough. Though waiting list is something of a misnomer as the waiting won't do you any good.
