Anti-social behaviour among rough sleepers in a town centre has increased four-fold in the last year, according to a report.
A Team Shrewsbury Safer Streets report shows there were around 430 incidents in the last three months of 2022, compared to around 100 in the same period the year before.
Shrewsbury Town Council clerk Helen Ball said in the report:"Town Rangers are exceptionally busy primarily addressing issues associated with rough sleepers; this includes, drug taking and dealing, drinking alcohol on the streets, begging and shoplifting. The report also says that following a successful funding bid of £1.4m from the Office of Health Improvement and Disparities, Shropshire Council recently started the Reset project in readiness for launching to the public in March.
