Letter to the Home Office
The Leader of the Council, Cllr Joanne Sexton, has received responses to her three most recent letters to Alex Norris MP at the Home Office regarding asylum accommodation in Spelthorne.
In his replies, Mr Norris acknowledged the pressure on the asylum system, confirmed that continued hotel use is unsustainable and outlined work to identify alternative sites, including former military locations. He also stated that, for safety, security and wellbeing reasons, the Home Office does not publicly disclose details of properties that may or may not be used.
