Council seeks High Court ban on asylum seekers being housed at protest-hit Epping hotel
The EPPING Forest Regional Council applied for a temporary Supreme Court to stop the hosting at the Bell Hotel in the town.
Council, the government called the hotel to stop using only weeks after the statement, the documents were given to the Supreme Court in London on Tuesday, he said.
After being accused of sexual assault on a 14 -year -old girl, an asylum seeker comes after a series of protests in recent weeks.
Chris Whitbread Member of the EPPING Forest Region Council leader said: “If the current situation could not continue.
“As long as the council is aware, individuals who may be in the country a few days before they are hosted at the hotel have no criminal record control.
“There are five schools and a housing care house near the hotel. For asylum seekers, the use of the house office of the facilities is the risk of further increasing the tensions of the community and the risk of irreparable damage to the local community.
“This will only increase at the beginning of the new school year. We were disappointed that the home office will continue to listen.
“In our opinion, placing asylum seekers in Bell Hotel is a clear violation of planning permission. It is not used as a hotel and does not function as a hotel.
“In this position, close to five schools, a housing care house and the shops and opportunities of the EPPING market are not suitable in planning conditions.”
Council, unprecedented protests and deterioration and a series of arrests connected to the hotel after the legal action, he said.
The Council added that after the ESSEX police were under pressure, the extra police officers were designed from other forces.
Members of the Assembly unanimously, at the last meeting at home office urged the hotel immediately.
In the message read to the meeting of the Assembly Member Shane Yerrell, he added: orum I don’t want the violence in the protests or I don’t ignore it – that’s not what we’re trying to succeed – it is not just another way.
“I just want the hotel to be moved, not only from our streets, but also another family feeling how we feel now.”
In a letter to Yette Cooper, ESSEX police, fire and criminal commissioner said that the hotel is not suitable for immigrants and “clearly creates community tension”.
