There has been a sharp increase in complaints about
accommodation offered to the homeless in England, the Local Government
Ombudsman (LGO) has said. An LGO report describes a "worrying trend"
of councils putting an increasing number of homeless families into bed and
breakfast accommodation. Complaints to the ombudsman have risen by 14% in two
years, it said. The Local Government Association said councils did a good job
"in difficult circumstances." The LGO said it decided to publish a
number of individual stories to bring attention to the issue. Read more on the
BBC website.
