£32k gates to keep out rough sleepers
PLANS have now been submitted to install metal gates at Stoke Town Hall to prevent rough sleepers accessing a sheltered entrance.
Last year we reported that Stoke-on-Trent City Council intended to spend £32,175 on installing gates across the three archways to prevent public access to the portico.
The portico, on the Glebe Street side of the building, is frequently used by homeless people as a shelter from the elements.
