Blocked.

 The Home Office has abandoned plans to move a group of asylum seekers to the Bibby Stockholm barge in the wake of protests.

The men living in Margate, Kent, were served notice that they would be transferred to the asylum accommodation in Dorset earlier this month.

But following action by residents to disrupt coaches on April 24 and 25, the Home Office has now withdrawn the plans.

Read about it in The Irish News. 

It comes as police were called on Thursday after a separate group of protesters blocked a coach believed to be set to take asylum seekers from a hotel in Peckham, south east London, to the barge.
