A bedder way

YOU do not have to walk far to see rough sleeping is now widespread.

This is why Andy Burnham’s scheme to give anyone on the streets a bed every night is so welcome. Where Manchester leads other towns and cities should follow.

To help some of the most vulnerable people in society requires money.

In Manchester, even with a generous donation from Man City captain Vincent Kompany and money from Mr Burnham’s own pocket, they are still £2million short.

The thick-skinned Tories, of course, have not been shamed into action. To keep people off the streets for good, we need your support.
