THAT CAGED-IN FEELING - CLEETHORPES LIBRARY FENCED OFF TO EXCLUDE ROUGH-SLEEPERS

JUST days after planning permission was granted, industrial-type security fence has been installed along  parts of the perimeter of  Cleethorpes Library. Even though it has  harmed the setting  both of the library and the wider conservation area, North East Lincolnshire Council believe this is a price worth paying to exclude rough-sleepers. Last night, temperatures dropped below freezing. They will do so again tonight. Any homeless woman or man who sought to find shelter for the night under the canopy of the library roof will now have to look elsewhere - possibly the beach. How could a council be so callous?
