'It's not on, to be honest'
Mansfield's MP has expressed frustration after he says residents being provided with temporary accommodation were removed from a hotel so asylum seekers could be housed there instead. Leader of Nottinghamshire County Council Ben Bradley says the hotel in Mansfield is not the "right place" for asylum seekers and that a different system is needed by the Home Office to house them.
"There’s a bigger picture here, which is tackling the issue and stopping people from coming. But when it comes to communication, they’ve picked an area of town that’s not the right area and is not the right provision." Serco says it doesn’t comment on specific sites but told the Local Democracy Reporting Service it “did not remove existing residents from the hotel”. It stated that people are removed from hotels “for the safety and wellbeing” of people in its care after recent activities from some far-right groups.
Mansfield District Council confirmed it has liaised with Serco and the Home Office to support the asylum seekers. A council spokesperson said: “As part of our statutory duty, we will work as a part of a multi-agency response to ensure those dispersed from their home countries are supported at this time and fulfil our duty to help those who are successful in being resettled in the UK.
