Speaking in the wake of the death of a rough sleeper on York’s streets last month, Cllr Michael Pavlovic said: “I’ve been to too many funerals – there have been too many wasted lives.”
Cllr Pavlovic says he has spent most of his working life – first as a probation officer, then as the head of York housing and resettlement charity YACRO – supporting homeless and disadvantaged people.
He said the death of a rough sleeper on a street bench off High Ousegate last month was ‘incredibly sad’.
