    You asked if he was ok ? What reply did you expect -" yes thanks never had it so good" or " Yes I,m really comfortable and happy here on this freezing path " - some questions don,t need answers !!!!!

    Several people who have attempted to help those seen on the streets have met with a similar response. Whether it be just showing concern or offering them food.
    The guy shown in the above report is not a rough sleeper - he is possibly a drunk alcoholic or he is a substance abuser high on drugs.

    There are always those who just do not want to be helped - they do prefer to be on the streets.

    There was another guy on Chapel Street this afternoon, he was hardly able to stand up, so he sat down on the pavement.

    Several of these people have been banned from Liverpool City Centre and have been travelling to Southport. There were four of them chatting together and complaining about the trains, as they waited for the replacement bus to take them back to the Liverpool area. Most often they walk from town and catch the train at Birkdale.

    Walked down Fishergate in Preston
    recently. 11.30 in the morning, passed
    9 begging 4 of whom asked for money
    Many of these people choose to be out
    rather than be in a hostel
