Charities criticize housing plans at military sites
The UK government plans to use three additional former military sites to house asylum seekers, seeking planning permission for accommodations at MOD Bicester, RAF Barnham, and RAF Linton-on-Ouse, which could collectively accommodate 3,750 claimants. These sites, along with existing ones such as Wethersfield, are part of efforts to replace hotel accommodation, but charities and local communities criticize the plans as costly, inappropriate, and lacking consultation. The move follows a significant decrease in asylum seekers housed in hotels and a reduction in Channel crossings, with government officials claiming progress in managing migration.
