A UK Council is exploring the use of cruise ships to house refugees and homeless people.
The idea, raised by the Home Secretary, is not without its critics, with one charity describing it as “absolutely deplorable” and not addressing the root cause of homelessness.
Torridge District Council, situated in north Devon in England, is in the early stages of costing the proposal.
While one councillor found the idea “slightly crackers” at first, it’s understood the council feels there is enough merit to warrant further consideration.
