Councillors have approved emergency winter accommodation for rough sleepers at a former Air Training Corps building in Boston, Lincolnshire.

Councillors at Boston Borough Council have unanimously approved the conversion of a former Air Training Corps site on Nelson Way into emergency accommodation for rough sleepers. The facility will operate overnight only during winter periods when temperatures are forecast to be 0°C or lower for three consecutive nights.

Councillor Anton Dani supported the proposal, calling it a 'very noble cause' and saying 'We should support it because it will help people in winter.' He described rough sleeping in winter as a 'very sad situation' requiring community support.
