Campaigners celebrate after immigration camp at Medomsley Detention Centre is refused CAMPAIGNERS have welcomed the announcement that plans for an immigration style prison centre, in County Durham, have been refused. Members of the No To Hassockfield Campaign Group say that Durham County Council’s agreement that the site at Hassockfield is not suitable to become an immigration removal centre is a game changer in their fight to prevent the site of the notorious former Medomsley Detention Centre being used to detain women asylum seekers. The original Labour Party motion taken to full council on Wednesday July 14 was deliberately amended by the cross-party Joint Administration at County Hall.
