Hey up and welcome to the channel. Today
0:11
we're in Sheffield again having a look
0:13
at another migrant facility which hasn't
0:15
been widely documented. It is located at
0:18
Regency House
0:20
down at St. Mary's Road in Sheffield
0:24
and it previously operated as security
0:27
come as sorry as student accommodation
0:30
providing rooms for approximately 75
0:32
students and it stood empty from around
0:33
2019.
0:35
In late 2020 planning applications was
0:38
submitted. I'll put a link that in the
0:40
description and a screenshot of it on
0:44
the screen.
0:46
seeking approval to convert the building
0:48
from a student housing into a short-term
0:50
asylum hostel.
0:52
This overflow initial accommodation
0:55
would host asylum seekers for 4 to 6
0:58
weeks, especially when the Wakefield
0:59
facility was full. By February 2021, the
1:03
council had approved the change. The
1:05
site would accommodate up to 105 people,
1:08
a mix of families and individuals, and
1:10
include communal facilities such as
1:12
classrooms, a courtyard, laundry,
1:15
teaching spaces, and secure entrances.
1:18
It would also be staffed 24/7 with
1:20
welfare support and CCTV,
1:24
though made to look indistinct to the
1:26
public with no signage.
1:30
Mia's Limited and Hencap Housing
1:32
properties were contracted by the Home
1:33
Office to operate the site. The
1:36
intention was to decongest Wakefield's
1:39
urban house and provide a more
1:40
controlled safe environment than hotels
1:43
or shared housing.
1:45
A company site listing
1:48
later still presents Regency House as
1:50
student accommodation suggesting that
1:53
the band branding backdrops may remain
1:56
in place even though the use has
1:58
changed. So I'm going to walk in. I've
2:01
got my uh high vizy on today and we're
2:04
going to cover the camera up and have to
2:05
go to reception and inquire about the
2:08
student accommodation.
2:11
So, I'm going to cover the camera up now
2:14
with the high viz and walk down
2:18
and try and gain access to see there's
2:20
any signages inside.
2:24
[Music]
2:28
Right, we are just outside.
2:31
Going to try and go in and ask to see
2:32
where reception is.
2:35
[Music]
2:41
[Music]
2:47
[Music]
2:52
Hello.
2:56
Hey. Is this Regency House?
2:58
Yeah.
2:58
Is reception anywhere that I can just go
2:59
have a quick chat with?
3:01
Uh, yeah. Can I see your ID?
3:04
[Music]
3:07
Yes, you can.
3:08
Okay.
3:09
Right. So, because there's no visual off
3:11
the camera because it's under my high
3:13
viz, I've got my arm resting over the
3:15
camera so you can't see the bulge on my
3:17
chest. Um, so I just rang the buzzer,
3:20
heard the beep, and the security guard
3:23
asked me for ID, and I just had a
3:27
basically a blank card with my picture
3:31
on, and I just showed her that, and she
3:34
says, "Yes, that is fine."
3:40
[Music]
3:43
This still student accommodation.
3:46
This still student accommodation? Yeah.
3:48
Yeah.
3:49
Sorry.
3:49
Is this still student accommodation?
3:57
Hey, is this still student
3:58
accommodation? Right. So, I've just
3:59
paused the video here when I've walked
4:01
into the reception area. We've got two
4:04
members of staff. This one
4:07
and this one.
4:10
Um, just in the office. And then I
4:12
inquire if it is student accommodation.
4:14
Um, we got one of the residents here.
4:18
And I'm not sure if this guy here is one
4:23
of the residents either or if he's just
4:24
another member of staff.
4:27
But this gentleman here, you see my
4:29
cursor over his face.
4:32
He is actually a plain clothes
4:36
police officer, which we find out in one
4:39
second.
4:40
No. Sorry. I just don't remember the
4:43
bubble walking past just intrigue seeing
4:46
what's going on.
4:48
[Music]
4:51
Come on. You can't come in. Sorry if
4:53
look at the notice board.
4:54
No, you absolutely cannot. Come on.
4:55
Excuse me.
4:56
Okay.
4:56
Thank you.
4:59
So, as I'm being ushered out very very
5:01
quickly, there's this sign on the door
5:03
which I've just paused and zoomed in on
5:06
where it says
5:08
preparing for an asylum decision. I turn
5:11
around to look at that picture
5:14
and the woman covers it up very quickly
5:19
so I cannot read it.
5:21
Thank you very much for your time.
5:22
That's it. Thank you. Take care.
5:27
So is it a asylum place now then?
5:29
No.
5:30
No.
5:32
No.
5:33
So on the way out I did just ask said,
5:36
"Oh, so is this an asylum place now?"
5:38
after seeing that asylum sign on the
5:41
door and blatantly lying. Nope. Nope.
5:46
Nope. That's all they said.
5:49
Open the door. You're safe.
5:52
Open the door.
5:54
Oh god. Don't push me. Thank you.
5:56
So I am leaving as he asked me to leave.
5:59
So there's no chance of it becoming
6:01
aggravated trespass whatsoever. So
6:04
there's no breach of the peace of me.
6:08
And I just stopped to have a look at
6:10
this notice board. And as you could see,
6:15
the woman in the gray top physically put
6:18
hands on me and was started pushing me
6:22
to the door because I stopped just to
6:25
have a quick look glance at the notice
6:26
board, which I'll run that back now so
6:29
you can see.
6:30
Oh, don't worry. Don't push me. Thank
6:31
you.
6:33
You need to leave me
6:36
police station.
6:37
So, here you go. As you can see now,
6:38
he's pulled out his badge and informed
6:40
me he's a police officer. He told me his
6:43
number. I can't remember what it is now.
6:46
Um, and I can't really hear it that well
6:48
on the video, but he is from Atliffe
6:50
Police Station.
6:52
Okay.
6:53
Yeah, fine. I'm with you.
6:54
Before there's a breach of the peace.
6:56
So, as you heard him, he says, "We don't
6:58
want to there to be a breach of the
6:59
peace."
7:01
Um, there was no breach of the peace for
7:03
me. So, I was always calm, polite,
7:07
didn't swear.
7:09
The only thing that would have caused a
7:10
breach of the peace is the lady in the
7:13
center of the screen now
7:15
uh by getting physical and putting hands
7:17
on when I was leaving, which that could
7:21
be classed as an assault, which would be
7:23
the only criminal
7:25
offense which took place, not just a
7:29
civil trespass.
7:30
That's good. Goodbye.
7:32
No worries. Thank you.
7:33
See you later.
7:35
Thanks for
7:37
the cheers.
7:38
So, it is it is an asylum secret place
7:42
and they do have
7:46
[Music]
7:52
they do have police inside as well.
8:02
So,
8:04
it won't push me. So, get me out, which
8:06
is fair enough. They let me in. So, it's
8:09
not an asylum place apparently,
8:12
but it is.
8:17
So, that's not that one.
8:33
[Music]
8:42
But it is a nice old building.
8:46
Have cameras up. There's no signage here
8:48
saying student accommodation.
8:50
But so it is
8:54
an asylum seeker hotel
8:58
and that's all we're going to get from
8:59
that one.
9:02
So that's another location
9:04
[Music]
9:06
in the city of Sheffield.
9:10
This isn't there. I think with the uh I
9:13
think at the bottom that's a different
9:14
location. That's a different property.
9:16
So that is
9:19
[Music]
9:20
another location where they are housing
9:23
migrants. They're housing individuals
9:26
and families in that one. And as I said,
9:29
it is families and individuals.
9:33
Um, if it is individual males, this is a
9:36
highly populated student area. And if
9:40
they are allowed to go out on an
9:42
evening, there might be some intoxicated
9:45
students
9:47
walking about after being for a night
9:49
out. And there's been a lot of reports
9:51
in the news and media about
9:55
the people living in these types of
9:57
places not being able to keep their
10:00
hands to their self. So I think it is
10:03
quite important to document these
10:06
facilities in these built-up areas.
10:10
That's only a short one on that one.
10:13
Going to get a look at the notice
10:14
boards. It was saying about asylum on
10:16
the posters as you can see on if you
10:19
pause the video.
10:23
So as I said they have a police officer
10:25
inside in plain clothes.
10:28
He asked me to leave if there was a
10:29
breach of the peace. The only breach of
10:32
the piece was a lady pushing me.
10:36
So I land that one there.
10:40
But that is another hidden location in
10:42
Sheffield. So thanks for watching.
