Stop the government's plan to house asylum seekers at MoD site A, Bicester
The Issue
As local residents of Bicester, we care deeply about our community and are committed to preserving its welfare and future. The government's proposal to use MoD Site A to accommodate asylum seekers threatens to overwhelm our already under-pressure local services such as the NHS, schools, roads, and policing. We are particularly concerned about the lack of public consultation on this issue, as decisions of such magnitude should always involve the community at the heart of them.
Bicester is a vibrant town with a tight-knit community, but our resources are already stretched thin. The introduction of a large influx of asylum seekers without the necessary infrastructure and planning could lead to significant strain on our essential services. Our healthcare system, particularly the NHS, is already facing challenges. Moreover, our police force could become overstretched, compromising the safety and security that we have worked hard to establish and maintain. These potential impacts on our local services highlight the urgency and necessity of a comprehensive assessment and robust discussion before moving forward with the government's plan.
Our demand is simple: a full impact assessment and meaningful consultation with Bicester residents before any decision is made regarding MoD Site A.
We urge the government to rethink its proposal and engage actively with our community. By signing this petition, you join our call for a responsible, transparent, and community-oriented approach that prioritizes the stability and sustainability of Bicester. Stand with us and make your voice heard.
