The scheme to house asylum seekers at MOD Bicester Site A, which is next to the village, has been widely condemned by local people. Responding to a question by GB News, Mr Burnham said that more affluent areas would have to host asylum seekers as well. “I don’t know the issue yet in detail, but in some ways, as I understand it, it is about creating secure space.” “I do have to say, we cannot have a situation where it’s only the poorest communities in the country that receive all of the dispersal of refugees and asylum seekers. “We understand people’s concerns and I will look into the issues raised by the good people of the Piddington.”
