Good to speak with BBC South East on the local challenges we face in Medway from out-of-area placements and temporary accommodation.
I outlined how tackling this issue requires better communication between local authorities, such as the creation of a national database to track trends and coordinate responses, recognising the impact out-of-borough placements can have.
The long-term solution is to tackle the housing crisis head-on with good-quality social and council housing, as well as ensuring renting remains affordable.
