Piddington “BETRAYED” as Labour GO AHEAD with migrant centre plans

Published

on



A Piddington resident has told GB News how she feels “betrayed” by the government after approved plans to convert a Ministry of Defence site into asylum seeker accommodation.

Communities Secretary Angela Rayner has approved full planning permission, a decision welcomed by the Home Office, who want to end the use of asylum hotels.

The small Oxfordshire village, home to just 350 people, has been relentlessly fighting back against attempts to house migrants near their community.

Speaking to GB News’ Will Godley, Gina Perkin – whose young son wrote a letter to Andy Burnham about the decision – said: “I feel betrayed. It shows me that we are not living in a democracy. We have voices and very valid concerns that have not been listened to. Multiple times the government have said we are listening to the concerns. They haven’t. They haven’t even been here.”

In a statement following the decision, a Home Office spokesperson told GB News: “Planning permission allows us to continue to progress the use of MOD Bicester. However, a final decision to proceed is yet to be taken.

“The Government is working on a fairer distribution of asylum accommodation across the country, with over £1billion saved in costs since the election.

“This includes closing all asylum hotels and moving to alternative accommodation, including former military sites. These are designed to be self-contained, with 24/7 security and CCTV, to minimise the impact on the local community.”
