Cardiff Retail Partnership wants officers to utilise the 1824 Vagrancy Act so that visitors to the city are not given the wrong impression of the Welsh capital.
The law, which was introduced as a measure to deal with the rising numbers of rough sleepers following the Napoleonic Wars, makes it a crime to sleep on the streets.
According to the legislation, anyone deemed to be a “rogue” or “vagabond” found to be sleeping in the open air can be jailed for up to three months.
Yes, don't let the rich see the reality of the world around them!
