Crowborough residents call for Shabana Mahmood to RESIGN as they fume: 'This is a disgrace!'
Crowborough residents demand Minister Shabana Mahmood resign over asylum seeker housing plans.
On 26 January 2026, residents of Crowborough, a town in East Sussex, demanded that Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood resign after the Cabinet announced plans in October to house up to 500 male asylum seekers at a former army training camp on the town’s outskirts. Locals described the proposal as "angry and scared," saying the move threatens to alter the character of their community. The plan emerged from a government drive to increase accommodation capacity for asylum seekers. Crowborough councillors and neighbours have staged protests and called for an immediate withdrawal of the scheme, refusing to accept the site without comprehensive safety assessments and community consultation.
