Housing and Population

The Listeners' Election

Available for over a year

BBC Radio 4's Listeners' Election project culminates with a week-long series of programmes. Chris Mason brings together contributions from listeners across the country on particular themes that concern them. In this edition, some listeners explain why they think overpopulation is an issue we are foolish to ignore - it is a problem, they argue, that underpins others, from house prices through pollution to hospital waiting times. And Chris also hears from other listeners for whom the opposite issue - underpopulation - is a more pressing question. PRODUCERS: PHIL TINLINE AND SARAH KEATING.
