Around 80 residents raised concerns at a meeting
Residents of a town said they do not feel safe after they were told in a heated meeting that around 400 asylum seekers are currently living there. Around 80 residents packed themselves into a small hall for a Sandiacre Parish Council meeting to express their fears over a situation which they said was “dangerous” and “getting out of control”.
During the meeting Councillor Wayne Major, chairman of Sandiacre Parish Council, told the large number of residents in attendance that he was aware there were “roughly” 400 asylum seekers living in the town - all or most of whom were “single men” of mixed nationalities. His revelation drew a loud gasp from shocked residents.
Another resident asked: “I’m not sure what is happening here. Are these people legal immigrants, illegal immigrants, asylum seekers, criminals? Who is exactly living here and where are they from?” It was heard that police are planning a special event for residents to discuss concerns but this is yet to be confirmed.
In a statement made on Wednesday morning Sandiacre MP Maggie Throup has stated she was not informed of the parish council meeting in which dozens of residents expressed their fears and worries.
