Ensure a safe and clean environment for Asylum Seekers in and around Yarl’s Wood

Petition Details

Those living in temporary accommodation both next to and in Yarl’s Wood in Bedford as well as near barracks site in Kent need not only a clean, but safe and not overcrowded environment/ accommodation regardless of whether it’s temporary, particularly during the current pandemic.

Additional Information

Those seeking asylum in the UK should not leave their home countries as they are unsafe only to arrive in a “hostile environment” (as said by Mohammad Yasin, MP). They shouldn’t be put into overcrowded and unhygienic accommodation to the point that they feel a hunger strike is necessary (as has happened in the barracks site in Kent) we should be providing these people with safe environments, not in environments that are unsafe and could be especially damaging to the mental health of many there.

This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

You are more likely to get action on this issue if you sign and share a single petition.

We can't accept petitions about accommodation of asylum seekers in particular areas, as this is an operational matter, not a decision for the Government or House of Commons, but you may wish to sign this petition calling for a related action: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/571085
