I was feeling a bit antsy and there wasn’t a thread yet at 22 past midnight.

Have a great day everyone. May you and the animals of the DT who like sunbathing get some sun.

    Can you somehow make the bench unusable? I get that might be considered cruel but you shouldn’t be scared in your own home or to be able to step out of it.

      It goes against my beliefs - I’m really not a fan of anti-homeless architecture. Unfortunately I don’t want to give him a yoga mat for padding either because that encourages him to use that spot…

      There’s a disused flat nearby with a porch he could move to but I don’t think he knows it’s vacant. Also it’s still very close to me :/

        It’s not your responsibility to make it a hospitable place for him. You’ve already done the right things to get help for him, and now you need to look after your own safety. Make it unwelcoming for him to sleep there, he may move on if you’re lucky.

          Yeah, I absolutely don’t want him here. He’s a threat.

          It was just awful to watch someone sleeping in that cold. Really stressful even second hand

        If he’s a drunk he may not notice

        Maybe keep stacking Miss Fluffy’s poo poos under there until he’s gone
