A protest was held in Crowborough against plans to house up to 540 asylum seekers at a former military camp.

Local residents raised concerns about safety, pressure on local services and the scale of the new accommodation centre. Police imposed a number of restrictions, including a ban on face coverings.

Crowborough is back in the spotlight! Unfortunately, little has changed in the town since the protests in the winter. The Labour government still hasn’t learned to listen. If anything, it seems to have forgotten how to think.
