There have been a number of positive news and success storied regarding the clean up of the High Street and the ongoing issues with rough sleeping. Read about them below.
On Thursday 18th October, one of our Street Rangers successfully identified a wanted individual which resulted in their arrest. Later, another of our Street Rangers helped a homeless person off the streets by taking them to local outreach services to be registered and where they will hopefully be put into its weekend service. Other Southend services were also contacted.
