Yes, I see quite a lot of people sitting around and always at the same place. It's a bit sad we have so many still hanging around town.

Most definitely, I have been reading the write ups in the papaer following what's happening. Our Glenholme School also supports these families. One of the support teachers slept out of their vehicle as a fundraiser and all the money went to those families.

Yes I've seen some homeless people around and if there are homeless people it is an issue, and the accommodation/rent problem probably isn't helping.
