The plan has now been abandoned
The Home Office has done a u-turn on plans to house asylum seekers in a former care home in West Northamptonshire. It is the second time the government has backed out of using accommodation in villages in the county following Highgate House in Creaton last month.
WNC received a planning application from MSC Planning Associates in January 2023 to turn the property into a a large house of multiple occupancy .
"I made it clear to the Home Office that whilst Gayton is an extremely welcoming community, the rural nature of the village and lack of suitable amenities does not provide an appropriate location to house vulnerable people. I hope this update is reassuring for residents, but if you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to get in touch."
