A councillor from Surrey has requested the Prime Minister to alter plans to house only single males in the Stanwell Hotel, fearing safety and community cohesion issues. Med Buck highlighted residents’ concerns about the impact on community wellbeing. He stated that while the locality has been supportive of asylum-seeking families, creating a concentration of young single males could lead to tensions and strain local services. Spelthorne Borough Council is addressing the situation with the Home Office, stressing the importance of diverse housing arrangements in maintaining community harmony.
Residents have raised serious concerns about safety, community cohesion, and wellbeing, which he believes need immediate and careful attention.
Concentrating only young single males in one place, without the balance of families and diversity, risks upsetting that harmony and placing pressure on local services.
