Rough sleepers who refuse to move from doorways could be
fined £100 in a proposed crackdown on anti-social behaviour in Manchester city
centre. The city's council said plans for a new Public Space Protection Order unveiled
earlier would make the city safer. However, opposition leader John Leech
described the proposal as "social cleansing" and vowed to oppose it.
The council said it would only issue fines where there was a "wilful
refusal to co-operate". It said the order would not target rough sleepers
or any "particular groups of people", but rather anyone who displayed
anti-social behaviour including "aggressive begging" and drinking
alcohol in public. Read more on the BBC website.
