She left the Netherlands for Britain in the 1970s at just 17. Now, after receiving a short suspended sentence, she faces removal to a country she hasn’t lived in for five decades or visited since 1999 Last December, a letter from the Home Office dropped through Maria’s door.

Calls to move England’s home insulation scheme into council workers’ hands

Thinktank proposes councils stop using private contractors in attempt to improve quality and spending Councils should train up their own workers to install insulation in England’s draughty houses, and offer home upgrades street by street, beginning in the most deprived areas, according to proposals for cutting energy bills.

The Guardian view on temporary accommodation bills: short-term fixes must be backed up by housebuilding | Editorial

Liverpool council’s success in negotiating with landlords is a model of how to save to invest in housing Local authorities are experiencing some of the highest temporary accommodation bills on record. Councils in England spent £2.8bn last year on homeless accommodation – a 25% increase on the year before and a 100% increase since 2020. How did the bill get so high?
