YouTube Description
as posted by the channelSky News revisits Bristol, the van-dwelling capital of the UK, where the number of people living in vehicles has quadrupled in the last 5 years, largely due to the cost-of-living crisis.
After a months-long campaign by local residents, the Council won a court bid to evict vans from the leafy Clifton Downs where they had been parked for years.
But when we visit, the problems aren’t gone - just moved elsewhere, often onto residential doorsteps.
Van dwellers accuse the Council of "ruthlessly" forcing them to move without offering a ready solution.
