Last week I wrote to the Home Secretary, Yvette Cooper regarding the use of the Holiday Inn Northampton West in Flore as accommodation for asylum seekers.
I only received notice that this facility had begun accommodating asylum seekers on the day of this change.
It is entirely unacceptable that there has been no prior communication or consultation, and it is disappointing that the Government has not given the opportunity for any concerns that the local community may have.
I have asked that the Home Secretary provide regular updates and communication on this matter moving forward and keep my constituents informed.
If you’re a resident of Flore, please get in touch if you have any concerns by emailing me at [email protected]
