re sp o n s ib i l i ty for un d er-1 8 s w ith nowhere to live on local authorities such
as Ribble Valley Borough Council, i : Housing manager Christine Grimshaw presented a report to the Housing Com mittee on the first few months of the Act. "Already, there has been a significant
increase in the number of presentations from people under the age of; 18," reveals the report. I t says three of this age group
. are currently living at council hostels in , Clitheroe and Longridge.
