Kensington and Chelsea have built 10 council-funded social homes since 1990. Last year we built just 1,000 govnt-funded social homes. That is why we have a homelessness and temporary accommodation crisis in this country

Mr Stink arrives @MancLibraries today for our first ever free children's event. We have chosen this engaging and heart warming tale to give children an opportunity to explore the very real issue of homelessness that they see in Manchester.
