Residents have aired their concerns
As many as five hotels in Skegness are currently housing asylum seekers as the government continues to place people in temporary accommodation. .
"People say that they are intimidated because these are all young males that are being put here into a family resort which I think is outrageous. They originally said they would only be here for three months but they're still here. I think we've done our bit, why would they start taking more and more?"
Serco is contracted by the government to provide accommodation for the asylum seekers entering the UK and it claims that the use of hotels is a "last resort". Jenni Halliday, Serco’s Contract Director for Asylum Accommodation Services, said: "With the significant increases in the number of people arriving in the UK we have been faced with no alternative but to temporarily accommodate some asylum seekers in hotels.
