Is there a bye-law against begging in Lewes? Seem to be more frequent in the Cliffe recently

Get used to it, the Tory cuts can only make the situation worse and cause more people to need to seek help that way

It beggars belief that you hadn't noticed they were food stalls begging for some business and not the poor people of Lewes who are being forced into poverty & out onto the streets, not this week anyway.

When I saw a beggar for the first time in the late 90s. I thought I was hallucinating for a moment. Now I'm used to it. It's ordinary.

If you'd been around in the 70's you'd have seen not beggars but squatters in Lewes !

Hi Donald yes you are right. One man is an alcoholic who gets very aggressive and also seen him be racist before. Usually found with bottle vodka in hand big chap. Nasty piece of work. With mouse brown hair. Walks round with hand held radio.

They are a little begging/street drinking crew from St Leonard's . They commute to Lewes. Economic migrants in fact .

How can you say they should be banned and assume they're all drug users, they have NOTHING and you're just worried about feeling "uncomfortable" for a few seconds, how unbelievably selfish!
