Extra accommodation provisions for people sleeping on Manchester's streets have been opened as temperatures plunge below freezing.
Teams will be out on the city streets encouraging those sleeping rough to accept offers of accommodation during the incoming cold snap, according to Manchester City Council.
They today confirmed that cold weather measures are in place throughout the winter months to help rough sleepers off the street. Bosses say they invite those sleeping rough off the streets all year round, but 'strongly encourage' people to accept assistance as freezing temperatures are expected.
