Protesting councillors are planning to sleep outside the offices of Wycombe District Council in a bid to fight a proposal of adopting powers to potentially fine homeless people £100.
WDC cabinet members caused uproar last month as they proposed to have the rights to enforce fines against anti-social behaviour – including against rough sleepers.
Residents criticised the council for their plans, although WDC have insisted that it would be used to try and stamp out other types of issues in the town.
