A beggar on the streets of Windsor
Conservative councillor for the Windsor borough said homeless people should be removed from the Windsor Castle area in time for the royal wedding.
With the news emerging that the wedding is set to be held at Windsor Castle, the town's residents are said to be very excited by the news, but a recent announcement from its council leader Simon Dudley has sparked national outrage, after he urged police to tackle the town's "homelessness issue" before the royal wedding.
A political storm is brewing ahead of Prince Harry's and Meghan Markle's May 19 wedding over whether to crack down on homeless people and beggars in the well-to-do English town of Windsor.
Stansfeld also pointed out that the Thames Valley Police has enough resources to "prevent crime and improve community safety".
Mr Dudley, leader of the Royal Borough of Windsor and Maidenhead unitary authority, wrote on Twitter that some rough sleepers had made a "commercial life choice praying on residents and tourists".
In a letter to police he complained about "aggressive begging and intimidation" and "bags and detritus" on the streets.
While Dudley has tweeted that the royal wedding could encourage "aggressive begging" due to the increase of tourists, police, organisations and politicians have argued against him, insisting that it wouldn't solve the problem.

He further lambasted Congress leaders for busy in minting money to buy bungalows in Guwahati and Delhi, when the people have to live in poverty.
"I don't think that they should be here", she said of the homeless.
"If somebody is sleeping out on the street they are not there by choice, they are there because something has gone wrong".
Murphy James of the Windsor Homeless Project called Dudley's views offensive.
But the local police hit back on the social media network, saying: "Housing is the responsibility of the council but it is better that agencies work together so people don't become homeless". He explains all this before turning to the Royal Wedding, saying homeless people would "present a attractive town in a sadly unfavourable light". "Supporting the vulnerable, including the homeless, is a priority", he said.
In a statement, Stansfield said he was surprised the letter was publicly released but that he would write Dudley a full response after he investigated the issue.
'Protecting the public is of the utmost importance to both myself and Thames Valley Police and the force work day in and day out to keep people safe from harm and make the Thames Valley a safe place to live, work and visit'.
