Rough sleepers get free London paper

A free monthly newspaper for homeless people and rough sleepers
has been launched in London. The first 1,300 copies of the Pavement
have been distributed in day centres and on soup runs.

The editor said the paper was aimed at people who had chosen to
remain on the streets and that it would not preach to people about
taking up services. He said it would highlight the closure of
street-based services and day centres.
