Yorkshirecast

Independent living and pandemic polling


Listen Later

Asta from East Yorkshire was given just one week to live when he was born. He's now 39. Asta has lived independently but is now back at home being cared for by his parents. He believes problems in the delivery of adult social care, especially for younger people, means many are unable to live on their own.

And with less than a week to go, James, Gemma and Tim discuss the local elections. They speak to a former Chief Executive of Doncaster City Council, now based in New Zealand, about the challenges of holding an election during a pandemic.

Producer: Louise Wheeler

Sound: Adam Campbell
Director: Elaine Peters
