Stop the proposed asylum centre at Wethersfield airbase.
Abandon proposals to convert Wethersfield airbase into an asylum centre.
The rural location means that it is unsustainable and will adversely impact existing local services upon which the local community relies. Regardless of the implications for the local community, it's not a sustainable location for the asylum seekers themselves who will be abandoned in a remote, rural location with limited transport options and severely restricted access to local amenities, shops etc. Furthermore, there has been no formal planning application for the change of use of the site.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We cannot accept petitions about operational matters, which includes decisions about what specific government facilities to use to accommodate asylum seekers.
We could accept a petition calling on the Government not to house asylum seekers in any military facilities, if that's something you'd like to happen.
