RAF Scampton asylum centre plans scrapped
Controversial plans to use RAF Scampton near Lincoln to house asylum seekers have been axed by the government.

麻豆社 Radio Lincolnshire's Harry Parkhill explains some of the other reasons behind the scrapping of the plans and the reaction from campaigners against them.
