Stop housing asylum seekers in tourist towns

What the petition asks
We want the Government to stop housing asylum seekers in tourist towns, eg. Skegness and Blackpool
We believe asylum seekers should be housed in cities, which are less reliant on tourism.
Towns such as Skegness, Blackpool and Cleethorpes all rely on tourists to keep the town booming. Currently much accommodation that would normally be available to tourists is taken up by asylum seekers. When a town relies on tourist income this is something that needs to be reconsidered.
