Windsor council has withdrawn plans to fine rough
sleepers £100 as part of a new “homelessness support strategy” after a public

Dudley’s assertion that rough sleepers should be cleared from the town centre
for the wedding of Prince Harry and Meghan Markle sparked the controversy last
month. The borough also said future strategies on homelessness would not try to
address rough sleeping and anti-social behaviour at the same time, describing
them as separate objectives. Read more on the Guardian website.
