Killisick Court and homelessness in Gedling Borough

District councils like Gedling have the legal responsibility to deal with homelessness in their area. For years many councils in the East Midlands have solved their homelessness problems by sending their homeless citizens to Nottingham City Council who kindly paid for their care. Two or three years ago, Nottingham City had finally had enough of paying for everyone else's homelessness problems and shut their doors to outsiders, forcing councils like Gedling to spend their own money on the problem. Since then, Gedling has had to employed officers (costing over £100,000 per year and still rising) to deal with this issue.
