In the news

The Wildlife Trusts is talking housing this morning, with a new set of guidelines to make new housing developments animal friendly.

The charity is asking for community orchards, ’bat corridors’ and other critter-friendly elements to be incorporated into the design of new housing schemes. You can read its report here.

Meanwhile, there is controversy over housing for refugees, with The Guardian reporting that many are living in “filth and squalor”. Reporter John Harris met with a Sri Lankan family suffering the effects of damp and mould, which he reports here.

On a similar theme, Homeless Link has published a blog on migrant homelessness in England, covering the findings of a report which shows a rise in homelessness among new migrants.

“Without better access to good quality regulated immigration advice, resolving destitution is impossible,” it says.

On social media
