Makeshift Migrant Camp in Calais to Be Made Permanent: Times

The makeshift migrant camp in Calais will become a permanent fixture on Monday with the French government’s approval, The Times reports.

Under a 25 million euro ($27 million) plan, the state will open beds in shelters for 1,500 people, according to the newspaper. Opening of the “campement de la lande” will coincide with a drive to lower the number of people sleeping outside while on their way to cross the English Channel, the Times reported citing unidentified officials.
