Homeless sent out of Edinburgh to make room for Taylor Swift fans

Situation in nut shell

  • City of Edinburgh Council places homeless in hotels when it reaches capacity of its own temporary accodmation spaces
  • When the Council books these rooms it's for a duration of 7 days
  • Hotels have jacked up room prices for Taylor Swift fan bookings.
  • City council can't afford these higher room prices and has to place locals in different cities such as Aberdeen and Newcastle.
  • This creates problem for homeless people should they need to attend appointments in the edinburgh area.
