Constable Ram Aston says pointing him in the right direction of a hostel would be the best thing for residents to do in order to get him off the streets. He said police believed the man was staying in the Bridgnorth area because people were providing him with provisions. "We believe he is only hanging around Bridgnorth because people are giving him food and money," he said. "We would prefer it if he was pointed in the direction of a hostel." Police think the man is living somewhere between Bridgnorth and Much Wenlock as he is frequently spotted walking along the A458. Read the full story in the Shropshire Star
