Migrant family handed £250k new-build say it’s ‘no good for us’ as they demand to be moved

A Pakistani asylum seeker family housed in a £250,000 new-build home say they are desperate to leave after claiming they have been left frightened to live in a Shropshire village.Muhammad Nadeem, 40, moved to Britain with his wife, Shamaila, and their four children two years ago. The family had been living in Stockport, where Mr Nadeem worked as an Uber driver on a skilled worker visa.After his visa expired, the family claimed asylum and were initially housed in a hotel before being moved into a four-bedroom property in Stoke Heath a fortnight ago.

Mr Nadeem claimed the problems began almost immediately after they arrived.My wife and our kids were outside the house when three people came towards us.
