As the UK Home Office attempts to pivot from ‘migrant hotels’ to former army bases, it continues to anger local residents, concerned for their safety.

Crowborough (pop. 21,688) is scheduled to see asylum seekers housed in a currently disused army training camp on its outskirts. The move has been condemned by the local authority, Wealden District Council.

Sussex Police noted a planned peaceful protest on its patch Sunday morning, with no arrests made. Slogans used included “Starmer Out”  and “Crowborough Says No!” In response, the Home Office told the BBC:

Public safety remains our first priority…. We are working closely with local authorities, property partners and the local community as we transition away from using hotels.

While the presence of a sex offender who targeted children at the Bell in Epping helped to focus public concerns on migrant hotels, shifting the men to other, less financially costly locations is also proving unpopular.
