There have been several reports of people rough sleeping in Sydney Gardens. If you would like to help, you can report incidents of rough sleeping on the StreetLink website and they will assist by connecting the homeless to local services. The Bath and North East Somerset Council have been in contact with Julian House to arrange accommodation for those involved.
