Many people have raised concerns with the MP who serves Linton on Ouse about a lack of a formal cancellation notice from the Government regarding the previously proposed asylum reception centre at the old RAF base.
While the Defence Secretary announced the plans were scrapped back in July, Thirsk and Malton MP, Kevin Hollinrake, says he’s yet to receive an official confirmation, along with no suggestions on what the site may now be used for.
He says the lack of clarity naturally leaves residents in Linton-on-Ouse and the surrounding area north of York extremely concerned.
Linton On Ouse Action Group Member Olga Matthias agrees. She told YorkMix Radio she was not surprised that the Government had remained silent as consultation and communication had never been their strong point.
Kevin Hollinrake has written to the new Home Secretary and the Defence Secretary to request a formal and quick response on the matter.
