Councils weigh up options after asylum hotel ruling
Nottingham Post
|August 21, 2025

-
Ministers are bracing for further legal challenges from councils after Epping Forest District Council was granted a temporary injunction by the High Court on Tuesday.
The ruling blocks asylum seekers from being housed at the Bell Hotel in the Essex town, and current residents must be removed by September 12.
Yesterday, some Conservative and Reform UK-led authorities said they were looking at their options to take similar action.
