Senior Worthing councillors have rejected a motion to prevent ‘mass homelessness’ as they say that the council is ‘already doing a lot’ of the things it asked for.

The motion was submitted by Labour councillor Emma Taylor (Heene) and asked Worthing Borough Council to support the Big Issue charity’s plan to ‘stop mass homelessness’.

It also asked the council to write to heads of government departments about the issue; support a Wellbeing of Future Generations Act and commission a report exploring how to expand social housing and housing stock.
