Interesting piece on the Today program this morning about Cambridge council buying one way tickets to other towns for their homeless people. The presenter introduced the piece as saying that the the other towns were unhappy and implying that Cambridge was just moving the problem onto other town. Then the guest came on. She was the executive of Cambridge council and corrected him! Basically, she was saying that Cambridge only pay for a ticket when they have verified that there is a bed at the other end and that the person is happy with going.

Seems quite reasonable to me and certainly took the wind out of the presenter’s sails!
