An MP and a local council leader have said they have “serious concerns” about a plan to house asylum seeker families in Chertsey.

Ben Spencer, Conservative MP for Runnymede and Weybridge, said it would put an “unmanageable burden” on schools and healthcare.

The Home Office wants to develop a building in Syward Place, Pyrcroft Road, to house 300 people.

The Home Office said it would work with local people to address their concerns.
