I read with interest the plans to fine street drinkers in Norfolk Square, Brighton.

What is the point of fining people who have nothing?

They will be unable to pay and end in court with possible prison sentences.

My concern is that homeless people with mental health issues will not receive the help and support they need and end up in prison.

What additional support has been provided for street drinkers in terms of access to rehabilitation, safe accommodation and ongoing support and supervision?

Where are the bed spaces for people diagnosed with mental heath, depression or addiction who want treatment?

Who decides anti-social drinking is a police or medical matter? The sticks are there but where are the carrots?
