Homeless man living in tent to avoid ‘crackheads’ begs for somewhere to live

dailyrecord.co.uk:

A homeless man is begging the council to provide him with shelter ahead of the harsh winter weather. Paul Dono has lived out of a tent for the last six weeks and has endured the change in climate from summer to autumn.

However, the 45-year-old is now dreading the conditions he will be faced with as temperatures plummet, and is pleading with the local authority to find him suitable accommodation.

Paul, who admits he is an alcoholic, has been to prison seven times in his life but insists he has been living crime free for five years.

He left his flat to move into rehab about 12 months ago but says he left there as they wanted him to come off his medication.
