What the petition asks
Valid concerns about 300+ undocumented men being placed in the centre of the Scottish Highlands’ only city, right within a community housing families and MOD personnel. The problems that can occur from this are well documented.
The people have genuine concerns around housing over 300 undocumented men in one place, right in the centre of the Scottish Highlands’ largest city. This would be within a stone’s throw of a number of schools, Millburn and Raigmore to name 2, with reasonable concerns around grooming gangs and violence towards women. Cameron Barracks is right on the doorstep of a housing estate which is home to many children and families from the MOD, this is a real issue, real concern based on evidence.
Why it was rejected
It was about a matter for a local council or devolved government, not the UK Government or Parliament.
