As the cold weather returns, we stand ready to help the most vulnerable in our society. With temperatures dropping below zero across the capital, I've activated my SWEP to make sure anyone seen sleeping rough in these freezing conditions is offered a place in emergency accommodation. They will also be offered support to move on to the safe, secure accommodation they need.
For many Londoners, the cost-of-living crisis, rising rents, and benefit cuts will make this winter feel longer and colder than ever. We know that these factors are forcing more people onto the streets. We're stepping up support in London, but it's imperative that ministers stop turning a blind eye to this crisis.
