Neighbourhood Priorities

In Wellington Town there has been a lot of mess left everyday by rough sleepers.

 

This is affecting business and public coming to the town.

 

9 rough sleepers counted last week of which a few are begging around town on a daily basis.

Issue Date Friday 3rd May 2019

We have been liasing with the Wellington Town Council on  Wednesday 24th April, after a discussion with them and Telford and Wrekin Council the Contractors were brought in to clean up all the mess (mattresses / tables / bedding)

Wellington Local Policing team has also been out and given all the homeless they have come across a leaflet with services that could assist them in help for addictions, housing, support etc.

During a meeting about the Shop doorway ( The old Stead & Simpsons)  scissor shutters will be fitted to the shop front to stop the homeless coming back and using it as a bedroom / storage room. This work will be done week commencing 6th May.

Wellington Local Policing team advise public on a daily basis to report any begging by calling 101 and encourage the businesses to do the same to help combat the problem.
