A number of hotels are occupied by refugees
A Lincolnshire council is set to take legal action against the Government over housing asylum seekers in Skegness hotels. It comes as East Lindsey District Council has submitted a 'pre-action letter' to the Home Office.
"The unlawful use of hotels as hostels, which goes against planning policy, is depleting the supply of accommodation on offer for tourists and this use is not helping our reputation as a family holiday resort which is a vital part of the local economy. We understand the national pressures faced by the Home Office in finding suitable accommodation for those seeking asylum in the UK but we call for a halt to the procurement of any more hotels in Skegness and wider East Lindsey.
"Britain is an immensely compassionate country but we need to address the issue of asylum seekers coming in such numbers. It's right that we’re now working more closely with France to stop people making perilous voyages.
