Review the decision to use former RAF Barnham site for asylum accommodation

Review the decision to use former RAF Barnham site for asylum accommodation — 21 signatures. Status: rejected.

Petition background

Reconsider the use of RAF Barnham for large-scale asylum accommodation until a full independent assessment of impacts on local services, infrastructure, community safety and nearby military facilities has been completed.

Additional details

We call on the Government to reconsider its decision to use the former RAF Barnham site for large-scale asylum accommodation. The proposal could place additional pressure on local GP surgeries, NHS services, roads, policing and community facilities. Residents have not been properly consulted on a change of this scale. Concerns also remain regarding community impact, safeguarding and the site’s proximity to UK and US military facilities. Alternative locations should be considered.
