#UK - Tea, toast and out by 8am: inside #Manchester's emergency #homeless provision
Extra spaces are made available when the mercury drops below freezing
by Greta Simpson, 17 Jan 2026
Excerpt: "When the weather in the city centre is forecast to drop below zero - as it has repeatedly in recent days - severe weather emergency protocol is called in, meaning that the council increase their outreach to the homeless, offering a warm place to everyone who may be #SleepingRough.
"Users have to be referred there through the council's #RoughSleepers service, either through council officers, other voluntary providers in the Manchester Homeless Partnership or even members of the public.
"The Rough Sleepers team then co-ordinate who is going where, either to council-operated accommodation or sites run by other partners.
"Users have to get there under their own steam, whether it's through their own means or a bus pass or taxi funded by other charities and partners.
"They are free to lie down and sleep, but no drink or drugs are allowed ('it would be unmanageable,' one staff member says) and they must be gone by 8am.
"However, in some instances users stay for several nights in a row, though they have to vacate the space during the day. Some users move into temporary accommodation in the rest of the hotel if a space becomes free."

"The demonstrators chanted “stop the sweeps” as they walked in protest of what they call daily and unnecessary tent city sweeps by bylaw officers."

So, just to be clear, "Park closes at dusk," is actually code for, "Homeless people can't sleep here," right?

Number of people #SleepingRough in #England rises for second year running
Increase means government will fail to meet #ManifestoPromise to end #RoughSleeping before #GeneralElection

I see following on from #SuellaBraverman's intention to fine charities for providing tents to the #homeless, she has now described #sleepingrough as a 'lifestyle choice'....
She really is a cruel vindictive sadist whose only job now seems to make #PrittiPatel look compassionate?
