Whilst Crowborough isn't in our constituency, I am aware residents of EGU who live close by are extremely concerned about what is happening in the Crowborough Training Camp as this will affect the Wealden district and services in our constituency.
Like many EGU residents, I am furious to read from the media that this Labour Government's Home Office and Ministry of Defence have been in private conversations with the Green Party and Liberal Democrat Leadership at Wealden District Council to potentially use the Crowborough Training Camp to house asylum seekers in the near future.
Under the previous Conservative Government, the Crowborough site was rejected outright.
This was due to its layout and the difficulty in it being adapted and the extra costs that would be involved. Furthermore, modifying the site would put it in conflict with the local Council’s Crowborough National Landscape and planning policy.
This site has already been rejected as being wholly inappropriate. If you are a resident of East Grinstead, Uckfield, and the villages please sign my petition below.
