ALLOWED
Cardboard-Box:

NOT ALLOWED
Tents:
But lest anyone accuse the councillors of heartlessness, note that Pensacola, Florida passed an ordinance in 2013 that banned:
Sleeping out-of-doors under one of the following circumstances:
(i) Adjacent to or inside a tent or sleeping bag, or
(ii) Atop and/or covered by materials such as a bedroll, cardboard, newspapers, or
(iii) Inside some form of temporary shelter
Maybe it's a nod to the somewhat colder climate that Manchester, England generously allows its homeless population the luxury of sleeping under newspaper & cardboard that Pensacola, Florida would deny theirs.
* Yes, I know the spikes depicted are/were in London, though similar anti-homeless measures are popping up in cities all around the globe. And the other pictures, bar perhaps the last, aren't of Manchester either. And ?
