A protest has taken place in an East Sussex town over government plans to house 600 asylum seekers in a former military site.

The government announced plans in October for the asylum seekers to be housed in a now disused army training camp on the outskirts of Crowborough.

Sussex Police confirmed that a planned peaceful protest had taken place on Sunday morning in the town, and no arrests were made.

The Home Office has been approached for a comment. A spokesperson previously told the BBC "the right to protest is fundamental to our democracy" and the government would "close every asylum hotel".
