Severe Weather Emergency Provision activated
Babergh and Mid Suffolk District Councils have been activated their Severe Weather Emergency Protocol - 10 December
The councils will continue to monitor the weather conditions in the days ahead.
SWEP arrangements are initiated when the night time temperature is predicted to be zero degrees or below for three consecutive nights. The protocol may also apply in the event of other exceptional adverse weather conditions.
When SWEP is in place, the Housing Solutions Team seeks to ensure that no one has to sleep rough, including those without recourse to public funds.
- Contact us if you are aware of a rough sleeper in the one of the districts
- StreetLink exists to help end rough sleeping by enabling members of the public to connect people sleeping rough with the local services that can support them.
