The number of families being illegally housed in
bed-and-breakfasts by Milton Keynes Council has nearly doubled this year,
government figures show. Up to the end
of March, it housed 35 families in temporary accommodation for longer than the
statutory six weeks, but this rose to 60 by the end of June. The council said
it was looking to at least halve this by spring 2014, using one-bedroom flats
for small families. The authority said the problem had been caused by a
decrease in the supply of houses and an increase in those requiring them. Read
