Closed petition Provide funding for suitable infrastructure for people living in vehicles

Closed on 19 March 2023

I call on the Government to address the standards of living for the growing number of people living in vehicles.

This can be achieved by funding infrastructure similar to that in parts of Europe, with safe places to sleep, access to fresh water and areas to dispose of Grey and Brown water.

Following a rise in living costs, the number of people forced or choosing to live in vehicles has grown considerably.

Far too many councils are hostile towards those living in vehicles, and some are systematically removing safe spaces.

I call on the Government to financially support councils in providing safe facilities, like overnight parking, fresh water and waste management, rather than removing options and leaving those living in vehicles with no alternatives.
