PETITION TO STOP THE CONVERSION OF STANWELL HOTEL INTO A MALE-ONLY ASYLUM FACILITY

If You See It - Report It! Every report counts towards more Police focus in ASHFORD

PETITION TO STOP THE CONVERSION OF STANWELL HOTEL INTO A MALE-ONLY ASYLUM FACILITY

All residents urged to sign this petition to stand against this decision and protect the safety, wellbeing, and integrity of our neighbourhood.

Stanwell has already shouldered more than its fair share in supporting asylum accommodation. While our community has demonstrated compassion and tolerance, the decision to remove families and children from the hotel—some of whom were attending our local Town Farm School—and replace them with an exclusively male population is deeply troubling.

Local government reorganisation

Gambling firms adopt hard tactics to flood towns with 24-hour slot machines. Companies deploy highly-paid lawyers and appear to mislead councillors – but local authorities are fighting back. “It’s that frustration people have of not being in control of their neighbourhood and their lives.
