HOMELESS people could have access to a new centralised hub in Bournemouth if councillors approve new plans. BCP Council’s cabinet will be asked to approve the purchase of the hall at St Stephen’s Church for a “health centre” that will offer advice services on top of healthcare provision. Councillor Hazel Allen, who leads the council’s homelessness work, said the facility would help people “quickly receive the help they need to move off the streets”. About 2,000 people each year request support with services provided via a range of different organisations. But concerns have been raised that this arrangement often leads to duplication of efforts as well as requiring the motivation and ability to travel for multiple appointments.
