“It is next to the SCHOOL, THE PLAY AREAS and that is really raising the anxiety of the community.” Councillor Malcolm Taylor tells Kevin O’Sullivan that residents of a Yorkshire village have written to Home Secretary in opposition to plans to house 1,200 male asylum seekers @TVKev @TalcolmMaylor

RAF Linton-on-Ouse is not NEAR our village. It is IN it. The entrance is in the village. Homes share boundaries with the site. A toddler park ADJOINS it, separated by a wire fence. 1,200 male asylum seekers are proposed here. They will be IN our village. #WrongPlanWrongPlace

Anna Turley a key decision-maker on plans to place 1,200 asylum seekers in our village of 700. Thousands have contacted her. Residents, a Labour MP & our County Councillor invited her to visit. No response. Our open letter: #wrongplanwrongplace #asylum #lintonaction #pmqs – at Linton-on-Ouse, England

“All parts of the country need to play their part.” — Andy Burnham We agree. But fair share must mean fair share. ~1,200 asylum seekers in a village of ~600 adults is 2,000× the national average Why does Linton have to play such an enormous part? #LintonOnOuse #FairShare

ONE ROAD. ONE ENTRANCE. The only road through Linton-on-Ouse is the sole access route for the proposed asylum centre. A flood-prone route to York. A 7.5-tonne limit and single-track toll bridge to the A1. This road cannot cope. #WrongPlanWrongPlace

Children from Linton sent drawings to Shabana Mahmood early in the campaign. They’re still waiting for a response. 🏫 School bus stop: 160m
🛝 Playground: 260m (toddler park just meters)
🏠 Child’s home: 660m This isn’t an “empty RAF base”. It’s their community. #LintonOnOuse
