Closed petition Ban 'anti-homeless' hostile architecture

Closed on 29 January 2022

The Government should use the planning system to prevent further anti-homeless architecture such as street spikes, slanted/curved benches, armrests in the centre of benches, barred corners, rocky pavements etc in areas where they can cause large negative impacts.

Anti-homeless architecture negatively impacts both those already disadvantaged such as those on the streets, and the disabled as well as inconveniences the general public. Inhumane, it strips them of their rights. The least we can do is give the homeless a moment of relief in a time full of hardships, especially during these hard times in the pandemic.
