Westminster Denies Sending Homeless Residents To The Midlands

Conservative-led Westminster City Council have categorically denied accusations they are sending residents in need of temporary accommodation to the Midlands. Westminster’s Labour group has accused the council of planning to send residents who have lost homes to cities in the Midlands in order to ‘end any responsibility for Westminster to find them a permanent home.’ The council’s plans argued, according to the Labour group’s interpretation, Coventry, Birmingham and Leicester ‘offer the best opportunities’ for Westminster’s homeless to be rehoused. The council’s rehousing plans show ‘no recognition of the strength of local connections’, the Labour group warned. Read more on the Local Gov website.
