Following Piddington's symbolic vote to leave the UK, Barnham in Suffolk is exploring a similar referendum to protest government plans to house over 1,200 asylum seekers at a former RAF base. The village, with a population of just under 600, is concerned about the demographic impact and potential strain on local resources. Barnham's parish council chairman, John Bauer, sees value in learning from Piddington's move and adding their weight to the issue.
