Same here and they can be aggressive and intimidating and that includes the women ..
Last time I went to the nearest big town there were lots of them and they seemed to be fighting among themselves.

Yes only today we were in Chelmsford Town Centre and I counted 7 beggers sleeping in the doorways of shops, it looks disgusting, one of them has a dog as well.

@ Susan m....

The street buses are a really good idea. There was one being shown on TV a couple of nights ago.
Nobody should be left on the street, (unless they choose to be so, as some do) and of course with no fixed address they don't get any money, so they are led into a situation beyond their control.
The street buses do at least give them somewhere warm and safe.

I am presuming you mean "by" minibus and not your minibus.
