Supporters of a plan to turn a former care home into 'supported housing' for homeless people say they are looking forward to the facility opening.
But opponents who live close to Coton Hill House in Berwick Road, Shrewsbury, say they have experienced antisocial behaviour during a period when the property was used to temporarily house homeless people and are worried about future incidents - withA planning application has been lodged by Shropshire Council and is open to public comments.
"Getting a roof over your head is the first step to getting your life on track and to suggest that housing the homeless will lead to more anti-social behaviour is the quite opposite to reality." "It is quite clear that the majority of the Coton Hill community object to this and do not want this to happen.
A management plan for the project says success for individuals is"not guaranteed and if a resident is unwilling to abide by rules or do not cooperate with support staff, they will be asked to leave”. “Our approach will look to work with everyone holistically, taking a person-centred approach to each resident.”The statement adds: “This is a pathway project offering each resident intensive support to deal with issues that may have contributed to them being homeless.
