Ms Braverman, Conservative MP for Fareham and Waterlooville, wrote such facilities made town centres “no-go zones for the patriotic, common-sense majority”.
“This plan will dump further pressure on policing, healthcare and public infrastructure, all while ignoring the legitimate concerns of residents who have been left voiceless.”
The MP, who has started a petition against the proposal, also stated on her website: “This site, in the centre of our town, is utterly inappropriate for migrant accommodation. It must be stopped.”
Ms Braverman was sacked as home secretary in November 2023, after she defied then prime minister Rishi Sunak over an article accusing the Metropolitan Police of bias in the policing of protests.
