Gang accused of turning areas of exclusive London street into a 'slum'
Businesses along Park Lane say the behaviour of gangs is killing their trade
Local council has said the mess and moving them on costs £500,000 a year
A gang of Romanian beggars sleeping rough on one of London's most exclusive streets today demanded: 'We're EU citizens, give us houses'.
The 40-strong group sleeping in a subway under Park Lane have been accused of turning it into a 'slum' having lived in various camps near Marble Arch for 18 months.
Local businesses believe they have driven away customers because of the mess and members of the group urinating in the street and fighting with rivals.
Today the group said they are willing to pack up their cardboard boxes if Westminster Council found them homes.
