The police have received multiple calls about rough sleepers in the bin shed at The Junction, Grays Place. Previously, the Neighbourhood team has patrolled the area and disrupted those using it for sleeping. While this has been effective at times, it has not fully resolved the issue. Consequently, the Neighbourhood team has organised a meeting with housing and multiple local agencies to develop a permanent solution. The goal is to address this problem and ensure residents can come and go from their homes without any issues. The team will continue to patrol the area, disrupt activity, and work closely with residents to tackle this problem.
