Ian Darby, one of the village residents, stated that the opportunities Piddington has are quite limited.

"We've got a village hall, a 12th-century church and a playground. That's about it," Darby said. He argued that it is unclear how the refugees will spend their time in the region.

17-year-old Dita Jackson also stated that she has lived in the village all her life and said that if the plan is implemented, she may not feel as safe as before.

Prime Minister Andy Burnham said they would examine the concerns expressed by the villagers and the message given in the referendum.

However, Burnham, who defended the government's policy of ending the accommodation of refugees in hotels, stated that it was fair to distribute such centers to different parts of the country.

Culture Minister Lisa Nandy also argued that former military bases were a more suitable option than housing refugees in hotels or rented accommodation, and said the center near Piddington would be implemented.

The government announced that the safety of the refugees, employees and local people to be accommodated in the facility will be one of the top priorities.
