The Copthorne Hotel and immigration were of course the main issues - on these topics, Mims has released statements which can be found below:

🎄🎅🏻🎁 On the 3rd Day of December... 🎁🎅🏻🎄
I’m sharing my letter to the Home Office regarding asylum seekers in Copthorne and our constituency and concerns you have raised with me as constituents.
I recently held my Copthorne ‘Meet Mims’ event and residents shared questions with me they’d like raised with the Home Office, mainly around illegal working, curfews introduced, and police presence which I have outlined in this letter.
Experiences shared with me involved the men leering at residents, the use of illegal drugs, swearing, littering, shoplifting, using subsistence cards for alcohol and more.
This is beyond unacceptable and as soon as I receive a response I will be sure to update you.
