🛑 Motion to halt asylum seeker housing discussed at West Lindsey District Council meeting
A motion to halt asylum seeker housing plans and demand stronger action from councils and MPs was passionately discussed during a meeting of West Lindsey District Council's Full Council on Monday.
"By insisting on turning RAF Scampton into an alternative accommodation centre, they threaten to squander the potential of a £300 million development that promises future growth for our district and even the entire county." He said:"My constituents are desperately worried that they won't feel safe walking to the shops or allowing their children to walk to school unaccompanied.
"To accuse him of not doing anything, which is essentially what you said, is factually inaccurate and verging on offensive." Despite accusations of politicising the issue and using it for personal attacks, the amended motion was passed by councillors.
