This is the first time Nicky Hudson has lived on the streets, and she is not doing well. She has been sleeping for the past couple of weeks in a tent underneath railway arches at Forster Square in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
The arches are home to about a dozen people, sleeping in tents, mostly in camps of two or three, split across five arches. It is the most sheltered place in the city centre for rough sleepers but, even so, it is damp in the November weather and the nights are bitter.
