'People have had enough'. Row over asylum seeker hotels, and the councils looking to shut them down

A council that’s trying to stop a hotel from housing asylum seekers has said it will "go down the same path as Epping" after yesterday’s High Court ruling.

Corina Gander, leader of Broxbourne Council in Hertfordshire, said a hotel in the town of Cheshunt puts "a massive strain on local services", adding that the government "needs to come up with a clearer plan on how to stop immigration".
