Asylum seeker abandoned on street after 350-mile taxi ride
By Martin Lindsay & Francesca WilliamsAn asylum seeker due to be housed in north-east England was left abandoned on the street, the BBC has learned.
The government-funded Mears Group blamed a "miscommunication with the transport provider" and has apologised.The man had been due to be housed in a property with other asylum seekers and arrived in the North East on the evening of 20 June. After being left on the street with his bags, he sought help from a neighbouring resident who invited him into his home.
"The asylum seeker found himself in a house that was rat infested, had no electrics, no fridge," he said.The neighbour said it would have been equally concerning for the householder.
