Residents in Linton-on-Ouse, which contains just 700 registered voters, have been stunned by plans to house more than 1,500 refugees at the former airbase in the middle of the village.
Former RAF base in Linton-on-Ouse near York set for 1,500 asylum seekers in tiny village with 700 people. Residents are shocked and fear the 'Guantanomo-on-Ouse' that will see their sleepy home double in size.
Locals speak of having one shop selling mainly newspapers, no police presence and a failing sewage system. They also fear hundreds of young men 'roaming the village' and their home turning into France's Calais Jungle. Home Office claims asylum centre will stop a reliance on £4.7m a day hotels as it starts 'Greek' style camps
