Publish Date: 6 November 2025
Wealden District Council and Crowborough Town Council are inviting Crowborough residents to a public meeting to hear from the Home Office on the proposed use of the Crowborough Army Camp site for asylum accommodation.
The Town Council has been gathering questions and concerns raised by residents and will be sharing these with the Home Office ahead of the meeting to ensure key issues are addressed.
The meeting will take place on Thursday 13 November at 7.30pm at Crowborough Community Centre, with the option to attend in person or to watch online via live stream.
Wealden District Council and Crowborough Town Council will host the session, and representatives from the Home Office will be in attendance. The meeting will include an update from the Home Office, responses to the main questions submitted so far, and time for further questions on new or emerging matters.
To ensure the meeting runs safely and smoothly, in-person attendance will be managed through a free ticket system. As seating is limited and demand is expected to be high, residents are encouraged to join online where possible.
Details on how to book tickets and how to access the live stream will be released shortly.
