Listen: Cllr Rev Stuart Piper is cabinet member for housing at Thanet District Council - 01/12/2017

For the second year running, a winter shelter is opening in Thanet to help the growing number of people who're sleeping rough. 46 are thought to be living on the streets compared with 33 last winter. Churches in Margate and Ramsgate will be opening their doors to provide places to sleep, showers and hot food.
