A TASKFORCE dedicated to supporting homeless people with no local connection will meet later this week.

The cross party group of city councillors - called the No Local Connection Review group - will meet on Thursday to update the public on their work into the issue.

Oxford City Council currently provides support to rough sleepers with a link to the area - those who have a closer connection with another area may be turned away or reconnected with an authority in that area.

The review will look into the policy and any potential improvements.
