Sanctuary strategy Plans to do more to support asylum-seekers

And while other councils are trying to get an injunction blocking the Home Office from using hotels in their area, Bristol City Council is about to consult the public on extra support for asylum seekers. This includes more English lessons, free sim cards and advice on how to get GP appointments.
