Dovercourt woman's bid to house Ukrainian family in caravan rejected

Alison Bird said she wants the local authorities to reconsider and allow a refugee family to stay in her caravan

Alison Bird had offered the two-bedroom caravan in Dovercourt, Essex, to a family of four who are squatting in a single room in Turkey.

I once worked for a Swedish company that thought it was ok to house it’s Polish workforce in caravans, IN WINTER!

And yet CornwallCouncil use caravans as emergency accommodation for people made homeless in the county.

Basically site won’t allow ppl to stay in winter = refugees turfed out. They’ll therefore be here and homeless in the winter so the council will have duty to house them, they don’t want that duty so it’s a flat no

Lol why doesn't she move in the caravan and let them use her house, and she didn't want to make money, rubbish, she will getting a regular £350pw, i think she is talking bull shit tbh

This woman two bedroom, double glazed caravan is not suitable but sending people to Rwanda it is. Just taking notes of do and don’t here..

We need to house people with long term stability, schooling and infrastructure needs. Short term potential, but there needs to be a long term system for this family in need. The council needs to provide alternative help, then a straight up rejection. This isn't planting a tree

A place we would go to for a holiday is not suitable for people fleeing war Doesnt fit the publicity game though does it ,got to have a 5 bed country retreat 🤦🏻‍♀️

Why are we not surprised?

If I was in Ukraine I’d be delighted to accept her offer. Let’s be sensible here. People are being killed and there is a safe place for them

An example of Tory xenophobia.

Far more volunteers to house Ukraine than necessary it seems!

Caravans are not suitable accommodation for blond blue eye Europeans

Didn't want to house any off white, Yemeni, Sudanese, Palestinian or Afghani refugees - nope, house a few well off, white Ukrainians & get the dosh.

Why is any Ukrainian being let in? Send them to Rwanda, it might change their racist opinions.

Looks like a single unit caravan rather than a mobile home which are designed for all year living. I lived in one for six years.

Anything is better than living in underground train stations while being attacked by rockets

That doesn't look like a caravan to me! More like a long shed, that's probably very nice inside..but the area looks depressing. I really think it was the right decision.

Oh dear, another place where Councillors haven't a clue about the real world, how unusual, Not .....

Bleeding clueless authorities.

Common sense not so common again I see.

FFS they might as well stay were they are 🤣

But some people do live in caravans don’t they all year round? So why not this one?

She could offer it to the homeless too

Hard luck lass, you'll have to let it to holiday makers. At the price you people charge it's cheaper to go to Spain, and it's warmer.

But Bouncy Castles / trampolines which have killed numerous children are OK 🤣🤣🤣. Is it better for children to fear having NOWHERE than to be in a comfortable caravan 🤔

2020!

Good house a British homeless person forst

Political correctness is getting so out of hand, things were meant to get better out of Europe, but nothings changed, Council rule books against everything must be thicker than Encyclopaedia Britannica, & of course, Councillors waste lines, shame their IQ's were so small

There will be plenty people out to make money out of this.

She could move into the caravan and give the family her house.

This is the family caravan folks. Let you make your own minds up. 😮

Remember those fleeing that were shot at, you told us it was Russia's shooting? it was AZOV.

Better than in a tent in a refugee camp. No. Wait!

What a joke.

Never mind sweetie, you could have housed some homeless years ago.

That's Essex County Council for you.

It's probably better than what they have now.

They were Ukrainian travellers so they be right at home

Obviously she thought it was easy money , a typical British citizen..money money money , thank god for inspectors 😩

More made-up bullshit…

Homes for Ukraine: Robert Jenrick takes in Ukrainian refugee familyRobert Jenrick is thought to be the first MP to take in refugees under the Homes for Ukraine scheme. I suppose he will expect them to vote for him, legally or otherwise! An attempt to establish counter-narrative to obvious xenophobia and reluctance to allow entry by refugees that is systemic in the ukhomeoffice. Problem is that for every Tory politician who has jumped the queue, there are 10,000 of us wading through the Home Office’s treacle. If every politician was a good Samaritan the world would be better.

Smugglers or saviours? Poland’s divided stance on aiding refugeesWhy are volunteers on the Ukrainian border treated as heroes while those helping families cross from Belarus face criminal charges? This is just a twisted half-truth. On Ukrainian border WAR REFUGEES are crossing border legally. At border crossing. On Byelorussian border economic immigrants, brought there by Byelorussian regime, are trying to illegally cross border That's the difference And one more question. Why did noone ask anyone from Polish border guards Straz_Graniczna for comments? news where is journalistic reliability? This article looked like Kremlin propaganda, copy-translate-paste. Are you really just Putin's allay on this infowar?
