The Chief Executive of the Refugee Council has described as "deplorable" Tory H&F council's "proposals to eject organisations supporting some of the most vulnerable people in our society from Palingswick House in Hammersmith so that they can be replaced by one of the government's flagship free schools".
In a letter in today's Guardian, Donna Covey also warns this will "be detrimental to the local area, by adding pressure on other local services to fill [the] gap, and hindering the integration of refugees and asylum seekers into the community."
She concludes, "It is ironic that the Conservative-led local authority would decimate such a fine example of the government's 'big society' – a place that brings communities together under one roof in order to promote community cohesion."
When will the council and the "free" school's Steering Committee get the message about the misery that this ideological and unwanted interloper is causing?

Why will this happen? They are not being moved out of the area.
