Overview
- Nuneaton and Bedworth Borough Council has activated its Severe Weather Emergency Protocol after sleet and forecast lows around -2C, triggering support when temperatures are at or below zero for three consecutive nights.
- During the protocol, Nuneaton can place people in emergency accommodation regardless of priority need or local connection and will provide housing advice to help them move toward settled options.
- The council says accommodation may be reviewed or changed by the Housing Solutions Manager if incidents of anti-social behaviour occur to manage risk.
- Brighton and Hove is preparing to open its SWEP at one of the UK’s lowest trigger thresholds, using feels-like 0C or amber weather warnings, with provision confirmed to remain available through March 31, 2026.
- Outreach partners are central to referrals and support, with Change Grow Live assisting in Brighton, StreetLink urged for public reports, and local services in Nuneaton listed, while food provision and quick assessments are offered and SWEPs lift once minimum temperatures rise above zero.
