The charity, Streets Kitchen, criticized Camden Council's review of rough sleeping services, highlighting its lack of independence and inability to investigate itself. They emphasized the need for collaboration and inclusive representation within such reviews.
The review commissioned by Camden Council aims to address rough sleeping policy and funding, access to temporary accommodation, and services for homeless asylum seekers. However, Streets Kitchen founder, Jon Glackin, criticized the report for not reflecting the voices and challenges faced by Camden's homeless community.
Despite the review being described as a milestone by Cllr Patricia Callaghan, cabinet member for safer communities, concerns remain about the increasing number of homeless individuals on the streets. Streets Kitchen urges for a more collaborative and effective approach in tackling rough sleeping issues.
Camden Council's executive director, Jess McGregor, refrains from commenting on the decision-making process behind her appointment. This lack of transparency adds to the criticisms of the review's independence and thoroughness.
