Spikmattor ska lösa problemen med hemlösa i Europas storstäder - efter test på duvor

I Europas storstäder har man under senare år börjat installera spikmattor för att lösa problemet med hemlösa människor.

    June 10, 2014

    London Mayor Boris Johnson distanced himself on Monday from the installation of metal spikes designed to prevent homeless from sleeping at a luxury building in central London. The “anti-homeless spikes” have prompted wide condemnation on social media.

    Photographs of metal studs on the doorsteps of a luxury block of flats on Southwark Bridge Road in central London first spurred outrage in London and online on Saturday.

    An anonymous resident of the residential complex told the Telegraph, that “there was a homeless man asleep there about six weeks ago. ‘Then about two weeks ago all of a sudden studs were put up outside. I presume it is to deter homeless people from sleeping there.”

    Now top city politicians have joined the chorus against the spikes.

    London Mayor Boris Johnson’s office called on the building’s managers to remove the spikes immediately. [...]
