Locals living in a village that is soon to be outnumbered by migrants have criticised Andy Burnham's plans to make middle-class areas house asylum seekers. The Prime Minister said this week that he would make sure arrivals were not only placed in the 'poorest communities' and 'all parts of the country need to play their part'. But locals living in Piddington are infuriated by proposals to house 1,250 males at a migrant camp near the tiny Oxfordshire village at Bicester barracks. Such is the ire of villagers, where just 350 people live, they have voted to stage a symbolic referendum on leaving the UK as part of their protests.The vote was backed by the parish council, with its chairman Tim McNally saying people are fed up with not being listened to. They have cried foul that the area is 'completely inappropriate', impractical, and unnecessary, and say it has taken months to get any sort of response from Labour.The Daily Mail visited the quaint village this week where white signs with red block capital letters reading 'No to Bicester MoD asylum centre here' greet visitors. Mr McNally, 60, chair of Piddington Parish Council, said he was concerned by the amount of energy it had taken for Mr Burnham 'to even respond to us'. Tim McNally, 60, chair of Piddington Parish Council, has backed a symbolic referendum on the tiny Oxfordshire village leaving the UK Locals are infuriated by proposals to house 1,250 males at a migrant camp near the tiny Oxfordshire village'The fact that this has been allowed to happen continuously, means we are now at a point where it is bursting,' he said. 'The whole system is broken, and the politics of this country is broken as no one is representing us. No one is saying we can stop this. That is why we are very despondent about the whole thing. 'We are paying our money, we are paying taxes, but we aren't being represented. We are now pushing back. The independence referendum is an example of this.'And to now say this is on you, it is coming to your middle-class areas, that is ridiculousness because the cost of living is the cost of living.'Just because houses here might be more expensive than other places, the money is earned, people work hard here and they have chosen not to live in a city. We work hard in this village, we are not spoon-fed.'He said locals are worried about how the government has tried to claim that every individual is security vetted.'So we don't know what is coming,' he said. 'The men will be allowed out during the day. We are near HMP Bullingdon but that is locked up. We have absolutely no problem with that whatsoever. Unfortunately, the asylum site is not locked up. What are 1,000 men going to do during the day?'Melise Witkin, 59, resident of Piddington, said: 'This is not about being rich or poor, this is about safety. People have worked really hard throughout their lives to live in this village. It is not such a rich or poor village. I just don't think that is a conversation to be had. This is about safety.'We are 356 people in the village with 46 children and 1,250 men turning up is a recipe for disaster. People walk their dogs, children play, I just think it is madness.

Karen said villagers feel like they have been ignored and Mr Burnham has 'finally picked up on us' after they had made 'noise for quite some time' Villagers say that the area is 'completely inappropriate', impractical, and unnecessary, and it has taken months to get any sort of response from Labour Graham Burchell, who has been farming in Piddington since 1970, said 'we don't need the camp, we don't want it and we would be a far sight better off without it'
