We Demand Rother District Council OPPOSE Northeye Asylum Seeker Centre Proposals

The Issue

Sign our petition to stop the housing of 1200 asylum seekers in Northeye, Bexhill.  We need Rother District Council to say NO to the camp NOW.

Last year local residents first heard that the ex-UAE military training base at Northeye could be used to house 1200 asylum seekers.  In March this year the Home Office confirmed these proposals.  

Despite strong local opposition Rother District Council have yet to discuss Northeye in Full Council or in Cabinet.  Please sign this petition and ask them to act on behalf of local residents and OPPOSE the camp.  

We collected over 300 signatures on a paper version of this petition in just over three hours last month.  We need to increase these numbers by the beginning of September to get Rother DC to accept this petition.  

If you live in Bexhill or greater Rother please sign and spread this petition to get Rother to act in the interests of residents.  We do not want the camp.

No donation required; we will not receive any of the money donated to Change.org (although it will get used to promote the petition).  If you live in Rother and would like a copy of the paper petition form please email Support@TheDemocraticNetwork.org.
