Steve Harris

Available for over a year

Jacob Drew is a Masters Student at the University of Plymouth. He pays almost £100 a week rent to a private landlord for his accommodation in the city. But since the start of November, he's not been staying in that room, and now the latest lockdown prevents him from even travelling to it. He's been telling his story to Steve Harris on BBC Radio Solent's Dorset breakfast show.
