Asylum seekers are being removed from the Bibby Stockholm barge after legionella bacteria was found in the water supply.
Sky News reported it was being done as a “precautionary measure” and that no people had fallen sick or developed legionnaires’ disease, which is a serious type of pneumonia caused by the bacteria.
On Monday, after weeks of delays caused by safety concerns, local opposition and legal challenges, the first 15 asylum seekers boarded the Bibby Stockholm barge in Dorset.
Around 50 people were expected to move onboard the giant vessel, docked in Portland Port, but around 20 were granted a last-minute reprieve after a series of legal challenges.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
