Those living at the site are able to come and go. The process for leaving the site is the same as the rest of our asylum accommodation.

To minimise the impact on the local services, and to ensure the orderly flow of people onto and off the site, a regular transport service is in place to take asylum seekers to larger local towns to access amenities and planned voluntary and community activities off-site.

This has been developed following consultation with key stakeholders in the Multi Agency Forum (MAF).

If off-site services are needed, transport services will be available by the Home Office’s provider.
