Council Boosts Security Amid Asylum Seeker Concerns | Belfast News
Description
Essex County Council is deploying special security forces in Braintree, Colchester, and Chelmsford to tackle rising anti-social behavior and reassure residents—just as the government ramps up asylum seeker housing at Wethersfield airbase. Council leader Peter Harris criticizes the lack of cultural integration training for new arrivals, especially around gender norms, and warns that daily town gatherings could grow as capacity expands to 1,245. He’s challenged the Home Office’s daily minibus shuttles, questioning their necessity, and is pushing for urgent action while hiring a security firm to manage the new situation.
