Asylum seekers have been moved into luxury 300,000 pounds town houses complete with en-suite bathrooms, electric vehicle charging points and underfloor heating.
Express reports that this has sparked outrage from local residents who say they’ve been kept in yhe dark.
The four privately owned, three-bedroom properties have a rental value of 1,200 pounds per month and have been leased to public service company Serco, which is working on behalf of the Home Office to house migrant families rent-free while their applications are processed, according to The Sun.
The controversial move in a Suffolk village was quietly announced lat week with a councillor claiming the community ad responded “very positively”. The news comes just days after judges overturned the explosive Eoing hotel asylum ruling.
However, furious villagers have hit back, demanding to know why struggling local families weren’t offered the premium properties first. They blasted officials for keeping them completely in the dark about the plan.
Labour Party has pledged to close expensive hotels and relocate migrants into private housing across the country.
