Immediate Action on Homeless Issues in Manchester
We urge the UK Government to act on the homelessness crisis in Manchester, where tents in St Peter’s Square tarnish the city’s global reputation. Despite a £100bn GDP, efforts fail to provide solutions. Demand transparency, investment in housing, and an end to this humanitarian failure.

Background
We urge the UK Government to address Manchester’s homelessness crisis, symbolized by tents in St Peter’s Square. Despite billions invested in the city’s growth and Manchester’s £100bn GDP, over 5,000 people remain homeless in the region. This failure harms tourism, damages the city’s reputation, and highlights systemic inequality. Images of these scenes are shared internationally, mocking the UK’s decline. We demand urgent investment in housing, mental health services, and long-term solutions.
