NIMBYism (plus a dash of racism) alive and well in Oxfordshire

The useful part

It is, at least, more coherent than what appears to be pure publicity stunt, but merely states their concern rather than providing evidence as to why they believe there will be problems. "as they have developed language skills, undertaken training, set up homes and sought voluntary or paid employment". ISTR that the idea of using former barracks went down well with the public.

How it works

• in its response letter the HO does seem to be at pains to point out it's at the "just an idea" stage at present.
• Yes, I find myself reaching for a pinch of salt there, especially as there is a planning application in.
• GOV.UK It seems that the government has pushed this through a bit hurredly, and I would want this to be done properly if at all but, as I said, we have a lot of claimants who are still going through the system.

Details worth keeping
