A council and its regional NHS service have written to the Home Office expressing "serious concerns" about two hotels housing asylum seekers.Residents voiced concerns during a meeting on Wednesday.
"The accommodation… has been organised by the Government Home Office and their accommodation partners Serco, and not by Erewash Borough Council, though we are doing everything we can to help both the local community and the asylum seekers." However, Charli, who also lives in the area, hit out at the "mob mentality" on local social media pages and urged people to have "compassion".
"It's the fact that there are many documented issues… also it's the knock-on effect also on local services, healthcare, schools."
I’m just wondering why the come to Britain and not stay in the first safe country they get to.
The Local MP concerned about public services being beyond capacity should have realised that Public services are beyond capacity EVERYWHERE!
While our OAPs live like this it’s disgraceful that illegal immigrants are put up in four star hotels with three meals a day. Need better processing to determine genuine refugees from those just looking for a free ride.
As they're not allowed to work in spite of shortages all over, what else ate they supposed to do except roam around? They can't afford to do anything else, can they? The system is broken, but not in the dog-whistle way.
£7 million per day disgusting
What are the concerns?
Gangs of young men roaming the streets
If the homeless apply for asylum will they be put in a hotel over winter? 🤔🤔
