Opposition to proposed new illegal migrant/asylum accommodation near people’s homes is increasingly driven by concerns about the safety of local girls and women, according to a poll reported by the Daily Mail.
The outlet says that among those who oppose new sites, the share citing women’s safety fears rises from 32% in July last year to 52% more recently. The polling is described as reflecting voters’ motives for objecting to asylum accommodation in their area.
The Daily Mail frames the change as a shift in the balance of reasons for opposition, with safety concerns becoming more prominent over time. No other outlets are provided in the materials here, so differing perspectives on the causes or implications of the findings cannot be assessed.
