To the House of Commons.
The Petition of the people of Croydon declares that the decision to make Croydon's Asylum Screening Unit the only such in-land unit could result in an additional 3,650 asylum seekers coming to Croydon each year, and that this will take a financial toll on local services.
The Petitioners therefore request that the House of Commons urges the Government to meet the costs of implementing and running this policy from central funds.
And the Petitioners remain, etc,

Our schools and doctors are packed already. This is just going to make everything worse for everyone living here.
TOTAL JOKE. Stop dumping everything on us just because we are close to London.
Put the money where the responsibility is. Central govt needs to pay up if they want to centralise everything here.
Ridiculous decision. Why should our local council taxes go up to pay for a national problem? Fix it.
really worried about our local services. they are already stretched thin as it is.

Croydon is already struggling enough as it is. We dont have the room or the cash to handle this extra load on our own.
