A new sprinkler system for Campsfield detention centre has been approved
A new sprinkler system at a fire-struck immigration detention centre was approved last night.
More than 100 detainees at Campsfield House were evacuated during a major fire there in October.
The fire service said afterwards that the blaze would not have spread to such an extent had a sprinkler system been installed.
Cherwell District Council’s planning committee approved the planning application at a meeting in Banbury.
