A care boss says she is "incredibly worried" by government plans to ban care workers from being recruited from overseas.She has spoken out after the prime minister

as one of several aimed at reducing net migration, which he said would bring the UK immigration system "back into control".But for Julia Senah, who runs Almond Care, an in-home complex care provider in Nuneaton, foreign workers are vital."A large proportion of our workforce [of 130], more than 80%, is actually from abroad," she explained. "Including myself."

Net migration last year stood at 728,000. The Home Office estimates the plans could reduce immigration by 100,000 a year by 2029.Sir Keir Starmer wants to increase the qualifications needed to obtain a skilled worker visa, impose stricter English-language requirements and make employers pay more to recruit from abroad.

New care workers recruited will have to be British nationals.

But Ms Senah, who has lived in the UK for 30 years, said part of the problem was that British people do not seem to want to work in care.The plans submitted to Spelthorne Borough Council would involve repurposing a former Barclays bank site in Church Road, Ashford.

The centre would be open every day except for Christmas Day.Noise issues, potential anti-social behaviour and encouraging gambling addiction were raised as concerns.

So far, there have been six letters in support of the centre.One objection letter read: “We do not want this kind of business in Ashford."
