A DECISION on whether rough sleepers will be given a bed for the night to shelter from the cold tonight will be made by the city council today.

The authority gave people a bed to rough sleepers who wanted it on Friday, Saturday and yesterday night as a result of the forecast freezing temperatures.

It said it will consult its partners Homelessness Oxfordshire and St Mungo's Outreach Team to decide whether it should extend its Severe Weather Emergency Protocol (SWEP) after snow fell early yesterday morning.
