Reports suggest that some of those previously on the Bibby Stockholm barge are now being housed north of the county
A Nottinghamshire council has denied knowledge of asylum seekers from the Bibby Stockholm barge being accommodated in its area. Hundreds of asylum seekers who were previously on the barge, moored off Portland in Dorset, have now been moved off as the contract for the Bibby Stockholm expires in January 2025.
Those successful will then have just 30 days to find somewhere to live. Alongside several reports suggesting Worksop was housing asylum seekers, The Daily Telegraph reported that this was being done with the support of Bassetlaw District Council. "The council can confirm that is has had no contact with the Home Office, its asylum dispersal partner Serco, or East Midlands Councils about transferring people seeking asylum from the Bibby Stockholm to Worksop. Nor is the council providing any accommodation for people seeking asylum.
