Blackburn with Darwen rough sleepers figures revealed
Blackburn with Darwen rough sleepers figures revealed
Blackburn with Darwen borough currently has seven rough sleepers on its streets the council's leader has revealed.
Three weeks ago, I was living in Terre Haute, Indiana.
Terre Haute has a population of less than 60,000. Blackburn and Darwen has a population of over 150,000.
Terre Haute has an estimated 500 homeless people.
It will get down to -17 °C there on Wednesday night.
I pretty much never go to Blackburn (despite it being 20 minutes away!) so I can't say, but 7 seems extremely low? Do you see many since you've been here?
The Northern city I used to live in grossly under-represented their homeless population. The rough sleepers who would try and sleep in the building I lived in fairly regularly outnumbered the official figures.
I've seen one.
I'm confused as to why the temperature is related to the day of the week.
Because that's how cold it will get there tomorrow night.
