Homelessness is, by some measures, at record levels. Over 150,000 children, for instance, are living in temporary accommodation, often miles from their schools and their friends. On occasion, some are forced to live with their entire family in one cramped, sometimes mouldy, room.Deputy Prime Minister Angela Rayner says England is in the “middle of the worst housing crisis in living memory”.

To tackle this, the new government is proposing to set up a homelessness reduction unit and in its manifesto, Labour said it would “put Britain back on track to ending homelessness”.This might sound ambitious, but homelessness is something that governments have successfully tackled previously.In 1999, Tony Blair committed to reducing the number of rough sleepers by two-thirds in three years. By 2002, his government declared it had achieved its target a year early - the number of rough sleepers in England had fallen from 1,850 to 532.

These numbers remained low for most of the remainder of the decade. The method the government uses to count rough sleeping has changed over the years but experts agree that rough sleeping fell under Labour.In 2010, when the Conservative-Liberal Democrat coalition took office, the figures showed an 11-year low of 440 rough sleepers on any given night. However the then-Housing Minister Grant Shapps said he was “sceptical” that the figures reflected “the true situation on the streets” and so the counting method was revised.

A "passport" for hikers on the Coast to Coast footpath has proved a hit with walkers and local businesses, with more than 750 sold since it was launched.The booklet allows people to collect 29 stamps along the 190 mile (305km) walk, which stretches from St Bees Head in Cumbria to Robin Hood's Bay in North Yorkshire.

Launched in March, the 140-page document encourages people to visit shops, pubs and visitor attractions dotted along the route.Donald Cline, who helped devise the scheme, said he hoped the passport would become a "memento" for walkers to cherish.
