“I think it’s more important than ever to use our profile as councillors to attend the Big Sleep Out and raise awareness for the plight of people who are homeless.” Coun Heselwood said more and more people were presenting as homeless at her surgeries because of the cost-of-living crisis. She said a shortage of social housing in the city, attributed to the right-to-buy scheme and a lack of council funding, was also contributing to the crisis.councillors Andrew Scopes, Karen Renshaw, Emmie Bromley, Salma Arif, Eleanor Thomson and Helen Hayden.
