a bid to deter homeless individuals from resting rough at a railroad and coach station by blaring bagpipes songs through the night has come under fire.

Practically 4, 000 individuals have finalized a petition from the measure, that has been introduced last month at Bournemouth Travel Interchange by the council.

Petitioner Carla Johnson stated it had been "in no way a remedy" and stated homeless individuals must be offered help.

The borough council stated the songs aimed to a target anti-social behavior.

'Disgusting'

Ms Johnson said: "at the same time of year if the weather is now progressively cold and damp, Bournemouth council must be finding an answer to simply help the homeless inside our town, to not ever drive all of them away.

"Playing noisy music in the interchange is in absolutely no way a solution as it only will move the homeless people onto another area in city."

The music, that will be played between midnight and 06:30, was labeled "disgusting" by a number of signatories.

John Weaving, from Blandford Forum in Dorset, stated: "i am signing because i might need sleep here one-day, who knows?"

David Smith, from Bournemouth Borough Council, said the music ended up being "one small area of the larger approach" including working together with companies such as the police.

He said the expert provides "many expert help services", including a "rough sleeper team" which he said helped to maneuver 61 folks from the streets into accommodation, both locally and somewhere else, in the past quarter.
