This petition was submitted during the 2015–2017 Conservative government

Rejected petition Hillingdon council to open up closed shops for the homless over winter

There are lots of homeless people in and around hillingdon borough
We are asking the local council and mps to locate a empty shop / building
So the homeless have some where safe and warm to go at night
During the winter

More details

They have done this in Manchester and other areas for the winter
And Hillingdon council should also do the same
It's freezing cold and these people have no where to go
Shelters are full
We are asking you to find a empty shop / building
That the homeless can sleep in at night
To keep them warm and safe
With help from the services to help them get back on there feet
Over the winter many are going to suffer
So we want to see a empty building being used to help the homeless
Over the winter months
And with help for them from the local services to get into permanent
Homes
