That's on public record

I have no idea what the point of your link is other than to show there were 17 on the 22 of September

Any drop at this time of year is because the council provides money to get the homeless off the streets as they don't want people stepping over them

It's at least 50 a night , the council are always massaging the figures
The point of the link is perhaps people like you and Linda shouldn't just shout out numbers that is on the top of their head.

Someone on here may know different (?) but Cardiff have a rough sleepers team out nightly engaging with rough sleepers and doing the numbers.

Interesting you don't question homelessness charities so much? I wonder how much their CEOs' and directors are paid in comparison to local authority homelessness staff?
