Piddington Women Fear for Safety as 1,256 Asylum Seekers Plan Advances
- On Tuesday, September 15, Piddington Parish Council will hold a symbolic referendum inviting parishioners to vote on village independence, following the Government's proposal to house 1,256 male asylum seekers at MoD Bicester near the Oxfordshire village.
- A group of 133 women wrote an open letter to MPs describing a "crisis," saying "our safety, security and freedoms will be under threat." Residents criticized the Government for proposing the plan without public consultation.
- Heidi Meakin told the Press Association she "wouldn't leave my front door unlocked" and would be reluctant to walk her dog. Gloria Brown, who has lived in Piddington for 23 years, said the plan would make her feel "imprisoned in my own village."
- On Monday, September 14, shadow home secretary Chris Philp and shadow minister Joy Morrissey met around 20 women at the village green alongside Reform UK MPs Sarah Pochin and Suella Braverman to discuss resident concerns.
- The Parish Council will announce referendum results at 7am on Wednesday, September 16, reflecting the sentiment of the village's 350 residents regarding the proposed asylum housing at the ex-military base.
