Asylum seekers in PM’s constituency claim accommodation ‘not fit to live in’

Residents begged Boris Johnson for help after no improvements made to rundown flats in Uxbridge and South Ruislip

Dozens of asylum seekers are begging Boris Johnson to help rehouse them, claiming the Home Office accommodation in his constituency is not fit to live in.

The 18 rundown flats in Uxbridge and South Ruislip have housed some asylum seekers for years without any improvements being made - despite repeated complaints. Each apartment has five tiny bedrooms and no communal space, besides kitchens and bathrooms left filthy from a lack of maintenance.
