Ronny English, the founder of Don’t Walk Past, said he did see two council workers overnight on one occasion, but feels they are not working fast enough.

“We’ve had three nights of freezing temperatures. Why are we still finding rough sleepers on the streets?,” he said.

Mr English said at least a dozen homeless people told him they had not been offered help by the council.

He continued: “We’ve been doing this for seven years and we’ve seen some terrible things, but when you go over to someone in these temperatures and they can’t speak because of the cold, it’s heartbreaking.

“Last night there was an ex-soldier, 60-years-old, and like others, he was terrified of going to sleep.”
