DEAR News Of The Area,
Recently I read the article on homelessness (‘Lost opportunity to solve homelessness’, p4, 5 September issue).
This is not a new problem.
Consultation, reviewing drafts, needing to deliver real change and saying the Council has acknowledged the problem sounds like just words repeating endlessly.
This article should be about what has been done not what should be done.
Each homeless person should be given shelter now – one room, a shower and toilet – even if it’s in a donga type.
The time for talking about it and making suggestions should have finished years ago.
Actions speak louder than words.
Regards,
Mark LANE,
Coffs Coast.
