Braintree MP Brooks Newmark has thanked Braintree Council for its response to a devastating fire during a debate on homelessness.
Mr Newmark said homelessness was a “blight on our society” during the Westminster Hall debate, which he instigated today.
Mr Newmark said: “In recent years I have had the opportunity to work with, visit and support two homeless charities in my constituency- New Direction and Braintree Foyer.
“Both are run by the Salvation Army, who do an incredible job throughout the country to support the homeless.”
Mr Newmark then thanked the council for its “swift response in providing housing” for people affected by the fire at the Braintree Emergency Night Shelter in the High Street last month.
