Taylor Swift is set to perform at Murrayfield Stadium on 7, 8 and 9 June, with tens of thousands of fans expected to flock to Edinburgh - many with prior hotel reservations.
A number of homeless people face being sent outside of Edinburgh to make way for tourists ahead of Taylor Swift performing in the city. The City of Edinburgh Council said it is working with those affected to find 'alternative accommodation'. The local authority said as a result of its housing emergency, it must at times use tourist accommodation to house homeless people.
'In Edinburgh that emergency now places people experiencing homelessness in direct competition with tourists; a blatant injustice. 'Our frontline services have seen people in need of a bed tonight being told their only option is to leave the city. 'A family going through the trauma of homelessness in Edinburgh should not have to move miles from their job, school, and community to find emergency accommodation.
