YORK’S housing boss has pledged to end rough sleeping in the city within the four-year lifetime of the new Labour administration.

Speaking in the wake of the death of a rough sleeper on York’s streets last month, Cllr Michael Pavlovic said: “I’ve been to too many funerals – there have been too many wasted lives.”

Cllr Pavlovic says he has spent most of his working life – first as a probation officer, then as the head of York housing and resettlement charity YACRO – supporting homeless and disadvantaged people.

He said the death of a rough sleeper on a street bench off High Ousegate last month was ‘incredibly sad’.
