Rough Sleepers
Rough sleeping is a term used to describe the practice of individuals, either through choice or by force of circumstance, to sleep overnight in public spaces.
Rough sleeping is a phenomenon within the BID but one that is limited to a small population of regular sleepers known to Better Bankside and the Council.
Rough sleeping creates a feeling of insecurity as well as pity and compassion. Each day Better Bankside Rangers will visit places that are known to be haunts for rough sleepers, usually along the riverside, around Clink Street and along Montague Close.
The Rangers will always speak to the individual, make some assessment of well being and if capable ask them to move on. They will always note personal details and pass these on to the Council's Street Population Outreach Team or a voluntary agency. The Rangers will call for assistance for those in need of medical attention or for police support in those cases where there are threats of violence.
