Essex Politicians Call for Meeting with Home Secretary over Asylum-Seeker Hotel
EPPING FOREST DISTRICT, ESSEX, JUL 30 – Five Essex leaders urge urgent closure of The Bell Hotel, citing more than 2,000 protestors and eight injured officers amid rising community tensions and policing challenges.
- Five Conservative politicians wrote a letter urging the Home Secretary to close The Bell Hotel housing asylum seekers in Epping due to public disorder and strain on police resources.
- Multiple protests involving over 2,000 people and counter-protests have occurred outside The Bell Hotel since July 13 after an asylum seeker was charged with allegedly attempting to kiss a 14-year-old girl.
- The government has stated an objective to reduce reliance on hotels for accommodating asylum seekers, but with record numbers crossing the Channel, it is unclear how this will be achieved.
