COUNCILS across England are considering legal challenges as the Government scrambles to draw up contingency plans for housing asylum seekers set to be removed from a hotel in Epping.

Councils weigh up options after asylum hotel ruling

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.
