A human rights group has accused Nottingham City Council
of attempting to "ban homelessness". Liberty claims a new Public
Spaces Protection Order (PSPO) will mean people are forbidden from giving food

leaflets and flyers. The authority said it was looking to manage anti-social
behaviour within a "restricted zone" in the city centre. Read more on
