What happened
A local council intensified its opposition to Government plans to house asylum seekers at Roman Court in Leverington. The council submitted a detailed objection to the Home Office, arguing the proposal violates a long-standing agreement regarding the suitability of the PE13 and PE14 postcodes for such accommodation. The plan is part of the Government’s effort to relocate asylum seekers from hotels into longer-term housing.

Why it matters
The objection challenges the execution of Government policy aimed at managing asylum seeker accommodation. The council argues that the proposed site poses risks to public safety and community cohesion, contradicting previous understandings between the Home Office and local authorities.
The Home Office is seeking planning permission for base use while local councils object to asylum seekers.
