A year of waiting for an asylum camp has taken its toll on Scampton residents, but some believe they can still stop the plan.
RAF Scampton residents campaigning against the Home Office’s planned asylum centre say they are not backing down ahead of the one-year anniversary of the controversial project’s announcement.
Wayne, 42, bought a house on Scampton camp – the old marriage quarters next door to the former RAF base. Residents raised concerns about the number of men arriving into their small community and the impact that would have on local services. The Home Office said it "appreciates the concerns" about house prices and insurance but did "not intend to offer compensation”.
