I know its the Daily Fail but ive been past this area and its become really shocking. Its a huge camp now. Why aren't the council doing anything?

The Romanian and Bulgarian beggar encampment blighting heart of London

Row upon row of tents, hurling dishwater onto the road, bathing on the central reservation, harassing passersby, and stealing booze and solvents from the local newsagent.

I went to Euston Road/Warren Street today on the bus. And back. There are certainly a good number of tents on the central reservation in the Euston Road and I could see a group sitting round a table, presumably drinking and chatting. It’s a bit of an eyesore but it certainly doesn’t look like a tent city. Presumably it’s worse in the summer but possibly less numerous in the daytime. It certainly looks semi permanent but fairly small 🤷‍♀️
