Those working for the Belfast Inclusion Health Service say they have paid out hundreds of pounds this year alone
Transport officials are being urged to allow healthcare professionals working with Belfast's homeless community to be exempt from parking fines.
Cllr McCusker, a long time advocate for the city's homeless community, has written to the Infrastructure Minister John O’Dowd urging him to review the issue urgently. "The location is Townsend Street in Belfast and they provide support throughout Belfast. The team reports that they have paid £700 this year out of their wages for parking fines, which I think is a disgrace.
A DfI spokesperson said: “The Department can confirm that correspondence has been received from Cllr Paul McCusker. The matter is under consideration.” It is understood there have been 34 such deaths in the greater Belfast area since January, with some warning the capital is in crisis.
