Rural Homeless (Today South West)
Citizens Advice Bureau shines light on rural infrastructure.
A report on the often ignored rural homeless population. The problem is worse than in more urban settlements due to the limited resources available, including advice and poor public transport. Waiting lists for council housing and aid is growing with around 50-60 people requiring immediate help.
Louise Cowie of the Citizens Advice Bureau in Saltash explains the need for better infrastructure within urban areas, with better advice on mortgage repayments and benefits. Louise has recently had to deal with 17 cases of people sleeping rough and 91 cases where homelessness was an immediate risk. Louise believes the problem will only get worse in the future if we do not act now.

Working Life and Homelessness
Life and economics in the South West.
Here we have some harder hitting titles from the SWFTA collection at The Box, revealing what it's like to live in the South West during the late 1980s and early 1990s. Several stories explore issues around work life / home life balance, while we also see people struggling with redundancy, mental health issues, rural homelessness, tax and recession.
But it's not all doom and gloom: there are also uplifting news stories of entrepreneurial spirit, people discussing the economic growth of the South-West, a fit-for-work awards ceremony and a dentist's office opening its doors in order to debunk myths that all dentists are scary.
