Asylum seekers are set to be removed from an Essex hotel after a council was granted a temporary High Court injunction blocking them from being housed there.
Epping Forest District Council had asked a judge to issue an interim injunction stopping migrants from being accommodated at the Bell Hotel in Epping.
The injunction sought by the council meant the hotel’s owner, Somani Hotels Limited, would have had to stop housing asylum seekers there within 14 days.
