Government Makes U-Turn On Controversial Migrant Housing Plan After Furious Cumbria Town Reaction

The Government have done a U-turn on their plans to house asylum seekers in eight rundown properties in the Cumbrian Town of Millom.
The initial idea was to place around 40 asylum seekers in a town where public amenities wee already stretched, causing nearly 2,000 people to join an action group in protest.
The isolated town has no hospital, police station or NHS dentists, has only one GP surgery and 112 local families on a list for housing.
TalkTV's Mike Graham is joined by leader of the Millom Community Action Group Dean Myers who says he feels relieved the housing can be used for those in the town who are struggling.
