Uttlesford District Council (UDC) is aiming to eliminate
all use of bed and breakfast accommodation for temporary housing over the next
five years, as one of four main priorities in its newly-launched 'homelessness

ensuring that homelessness is prevented through early intervention, working to
end all rough sleeping in Uttlesford and providing residents with 'high quality
housing advice'. Read more on the Saffron Walden Reporter website.
