Open up empty buildings in Newcastle upon Tyne

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.
