This won’t solve the problem, but it will go a long way to making things better.

Gym memberships start at about £5 per week, giving 24-hour access.

All homeless people in Oxford should be sponsored with a gym membership.

Alcohol and antisocial behaviour leads to expulsion from gyms.

So the message you have to behave yourself in society will hit home.
