Homeless man chained himself to town hall before council gave him a house

A homeless man with multiple health conditions who chained himself to Lancaster town hall as a protest at not being given council housing has now received a home.

Paul Fox, 61, had been sleeping outside the town hall for 18 months before he chained himself to the building in protest after allegedly being promised accommodation that never materialised, reported LancsLive.

Paul, who is known by his nickname ‘Foxy’ and has lived in Lancaster for 56 years, said he chained himself up to highlight his case and also other homeless people.
