Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.People sleeping rough are to be counted in Bath, York, Oxford, Tunbridge Wells and other traditional tourist centres in a Government move which extends its rough sleepers initiative outside central London.
Shelter, the housing charity, will carry out the counts on contract in the early summer as part of a survey of rough sleeping in 23 towns and cities outside the central London area. The Government is promising at least some funds to tackle the issue where it is worst. The move follows the relative success in cutting the numbers sleeping rough in London.
Other urban areas to be counted include Manchester, Birmingham, Leicester, Nottingham, Cambridge, Norwich, Exeter, Gloucester, Basingstoke, Bournemouth, Brighton, Reading and the London boroughs of Barnet, Ealing, Hammersmith, Kensington and Chelsea, Richmond, Tower Hamlets and Waltham Forest.
