On the 15th April 2015 homeless people and activists began camping in Albert Square, outside Manchester Town Hall, to protest against homelessness in the city - following a national day of action.
The council moved quickly to evict the camp but on the morning of the planned eviction the group packed up and moved round the corner to St Peter's Square, outside Manchester Central Library. The group stated that they would keep moving the camp until the council listened to their concerns.
