An automated door alarm fitted over shops doors, shouts at anyone who triggers it when its armed.
It tells them that they have been detected and tells them to move away, or the police will be called.
Needless to say, this seemingly clever idea has upset the charity Shelter in Scotland, that thinks that office doorways are there for the homeless rough sleepers to use. Of course if the office in Glasgow where this system has been deployed, wanted to now adopt the metal grill system, then the rough sleepers would still not be able to use the quiet doorway to sleep in.
This is of course a problem facing property owners in many cities and towns across the UK and which is blighting our streets. For instance, sleepy little Bournemouth on the English Riviera, has an ever growing problem and in 2015, Bournemouth borough council started playing 24-hour bagpipe music at the town bus depot, in particular between midnight and 06:30, it was alleged by some as being to stop people sleeping there. The council said it was aimed at stopping anti-social behaviour by people in the depot.
Forced to rethink their tactics, in 2017, 144 rough sleepers were bought one-way tickets out of Bournemouth to any destination, as long allegedly it was somewhere else. However the council said it was only used to reconnect rough sleepers with family, elsewhere.
The problem is that the genuine rough sleepers often live chaotic lives, blighted by additional needs, such as drug and alcohol, as well as mental health issues.

It's a difficult problem not being properly addressed by the authorities due to a lack of funding.
ReplyDeleteIts a problem fuelled, literally by drugs and alcohol.
