'Devolve asylum housing to Wales'
Daily Post
|February 10, 2026
ASYLUM housing policy should be devolved to the Welsh Government to give communities a greater say in how those seeking sanctuary are supported according to Wrexham County Borough Council.
-
An Extraordinary Meeting of the council unanimously supported the devolution of asylum accommodation policy to the Senedd rather than continuing the UK's secretive dispersal policy which has recently led to community concerns around proposals for Plas yn Rhos and Oak Alyn Hall.
Leader of the Council, Cllr Mark Pritchard, led the signatories of a Notice of Motion to bring control of asylum housing decisions back to Wales.
