Suella Braverman wins Bibby Stockholm barge High Court fight against mayor who argued housing migrants on the vessel breached planning and equality laws

Daily Mail  

A Dorset mayor has lost a High Court fight with Home Secretary Suella Braverman over the housing of asylum seekers on the Bibby Stockholm. Mrs Parkes, who is from Liverpool, argued housing asylum seekers on the barge was a 'breach of planning control' and said there had not been 'compliance' with environmental impact assessment duties. Carralyn Parkes had wanted to challenge the lawfulness of the use of the Bibby Stockholm barge in Portland Harbour, Dorset Mrs Parkes's defeat in a court hearing today is a victory for Suella Braverman, the Home Secretary Residents are set to return to the Bibby Stockholm after they had to leave when Legionella was found in the water supply Lawyers representing Mrs Braverman said Mrs Parkes's claims should be dismissed. Protesters in Portland in August holding placards reading 'Time to bin the barge' In one photo, two people holding a flag with the words 'No barge, stop the boats' could be seen stood next to a woman holding a placard with 'My outrage can't fit on this sign' written on it The government is facing a separate legal fight over its controversial scheme to send asylum seekers to Rwanda.
