Portland Mayor condemns barge after "tragic" death

An investigation is underway after an asylum seeker reportedly took his own life on the Bibby Stockholm barge, docked at Portland Port.

The Home Office says the welfare of those in its care is of the utmost importance and it take its responsibility for their well-being incredibly seriously.

Carralyn previously took the Home Office to court as a private individual but lost her legal battle. She's now raising funds to take legal action against Dorset Council, which says it has no planning jurisdiction over the barge.
