London Mayor Vows to End Rough Sleeping by 2030 Amid 71% Increase
Apr 15, 2024, 09:06 AM
Sadiq Khan, the Mayor of London, has pledged to eliminate rough sleeping in the city by 2030, addressing the issue that has doubled after 14 failed Tory years. This commitment comes in response to the significant increase in homelessness, which has risen by 71% during his tenure, potentially in his third term. Khan's plan has been described as bold and life-saving by supporters, who are optimistic about its potential to address a longstanding social issue. Critics, however, question the feasibility of completely eradicating rough sleeping, especially considering the current trends and Khan's future in office.
