View From The Street - 5,000+ Lives on UK streets

View From The Street on The Late Late Lunch Show explores homelessness in England, sharing interviews from Altrincham with people affected and passersby. On the episode hosts Rod Maxwell and James Spencer discuss the reported 5,000 people sleeping rough, Andy Burnham's pledge, and personal stories that reveal the issue’s complexity.

Listeners hear about causes like addiction, mental health, bureaucracy, and housing shortages, plus charity responses and the limits of short-term solutions such as Christmas campaigns. The show highlights frustration, empathy, and the need for long-term, joined-up action.
