<p>We have been developing proposals to accommodate asylum seekers at Linton-on-Ouse
once it is safe and lawful to do so. We would only consider accommodating individuals
onsite once all the legal requirements have been met.</p><p> </p><p>We are undertaking
feasibility assessments to understand what the capacity of the site is. To meaningfully
relieve the pressures on our accommodation estate, we would initially look to accommodate
circa 60 people at Linton, then using a phased approach increase occupancy.</p><p>Accommodation
at Linton would consist primarily of single, double, and triple rooms with a small
number of four-person rooms. Where rooms are shared by service users, the size of
the rooms will be in accordance with accommodation regulations.</p><p>The number of
staff required at Linton-on-Ouse will vary depending on the number of asylum seekers
onsite. This would ensure we have the required number of staff to support delivery
of services to asylum seekers accommodated at Linton-on-Ouse.</p><p> </p><p>The accommodation
centre at Linton-on-Ouse would be non-detained. We take safeguarding of asylum seekers
seriously which is why we would ask residents and visitors to sign in and out of the
site.</p>
