Child poverty In Welwyn Hatfield has been one of the lowest risers in the East of England over the past five years, according to the latest figures released by the House of Commons Library.
Welwyn Hatfield saw a 12 per cent rise in relative child poverty (before housing costs) since 2014/15, the lowest rise in Hertfordshire over that period of time.
Relative child poverty is defined as when a child is living in a household with an income below 60 per cent of the median in that year - which for 2020 would be any figure lower than £18,480.
BASINGSTOKE train station has come under fire for failing to acknowledge the needs of homeless people, with regard to its platform seating. One Twitter user, who was passing through the station on their way from London to Portsmouth, posted a picture of the sheltered platform benches, currently cordoned off, with the caption: “Very disappointed to see Basingstoke train station invest in anti-homeless shelters. A travesty.” Speaking to the Gazette, they added: “I was just so appalled. Homeless and those struggling with addiction need support, that is where money should go to, not these inhumane things that are not just incredibly uncomfortable for passengers but designed especially so that the homeless cannot lay down.”
