Produced by Simon Maybin and available on BBC Sounds, the work of Empty Homes Officers and the issue of homelessness has been highlighted in a newly released podcast episode by BBC File on Four.
Featuring Neil Tonge from Wigan Metropolitan Borough Council, the podcast highlights the work being done to bring empty homes back into use by councils, community organisations and developers who see such properties as a wasted resource.
