For over a year now asylum seekers have been accommodated in
three Crewe hotels, and in other locations around the town.
Local public services are under extreme unprecedented pressure.
There are record waiting times for operations and at A&E, at
Leighton Hospital, record life threatening waits for an ambulance
to attend to a health emergency, it is extremely difficult to get
an appointment to see a GP and near impossible to find a NHS
dentist in Crewe. Then on top of that, there are the ongoing
strikes in public services like the NHS. Local public services are
in a state of crisis and the town simply can't take any more.
Specialist health services and local charities in the town are
already struggling to support and manage the demand from the asylum
seekers who are already here.
Also there are 2,375 on the housing waiting list in Crewe.
It is wrong that those who attempt to enter our country illegally
should be given priority, over local Crewe residents, for local
housing in Crewe. Many of those on the housing waiting list were
born in the town and have been on the housing waiting list for many
years.
We are calling on Cheshire East and the local MP to contact the Government urgently to insist that no more asylum seekers come to Crewe and that the several hundred who are already here are moved out as soon as possible.
