Open up empty buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne

Follow the lead of Manchester and open up empty buildings for homeless people this winter.

Why is this important?

To plead with the Council to open its empty buildings to the homeless in winter. Each day I go into the centre of Newcastle I see people in sleeping bags, and it's already getting cold. I cannot imagine sleeping rough in driving, biting winds, snow, ice and winter rain. It's inhumane. It's also inexcusable when we have so many empty buildings.
