BBC News OnlinePeople worried about rough sleepers should buy them some food if they want to help - instead of giving them money, says the mayor of Barnstaple.
The town council has been working with Devon and Cornwall Police and North Devon Council after reports from local businesses about people sleeping rough and begging for money on the High Street.
Councillor Ian Roome said a joint homelessness team worked with around 130 rough sleepers over the year and anyone worried about someone on the streets should consider giving them socks or a hot meal rather than money.
Quote MessageSeeing rough sleepers on the High Street is upsetting and I know there is an impression that rough sleepers are ignored, or have been forgotten by society - this simply isn't true. Although it may seem like a good idea to give cash to those begging on the streets, it can encourage them to stay on the streets. We want a better outcome for them and there are much better ways to help."
