West Lindsey District Council is looking at legal action against the Home Office after the announcement RAF Scampton will be used to house up to 1,500 asylum seekers.
“We are in constant dialogue with the Home Office to seek to demonstrate to them that RAF Scampton would not be an appropriate site for asylum accommodation. Following the announcement in the House of Commons, Sir Edward Leigh promised WLDC would launch an “immediate judicial review and an injunction “against this thoroughly bad decision which is not based on good governance, but the policy of trying to do something”.
“He can’t guarantee anything. Will he work with WLDC and Lincolnshire to find an alternate site? We’re prepared to do it, but we do not want to lose £300m of regeneration.In response, Immigration minister Robert Jenrick said the policy was in the national interest but that he understood the impact and concern.
