Reports suggest the Home Office is poised to announce a leasing agreement to use a three-storey barge to house asylum seekers. The 'floatel' was previously criticised as an 'oppressive environment' but has since been refurbished.
The move comes after immigration minister Robert Jenrick confirmed the government was exploring the use of vessels to reduce the reliance on expensive hotels and deter people from crossing the Channel.Mr Jenrick also announced the use of two former RAF sites - Wethersfield in Essex and Scampton in Lincolnshire - to house asylum seekers as well as the site of a former prison in Bexhill, East Sussex.
"We are very aware that the uncertainty around the issue is not helpful for residents and businesses in Bexhill, and we are asking the Home Office, as a matter of urgency, to set up ways to consider and answer your questions."
