NEWS: Anger intensifies over Westcliff plans

The local charity HARP - which helps homeless people in Southend and surrounding areas - has been severely criticised by locals in Westcliff, who say a new overnight facility would cause untold problems for people living in the area.

HARP currently has two centres - one on York Road, which acts as a night centre, and the Westcliff site, which operates during the daytime.
