Concerns have been raised that councils could end having to house migrants in the same hotels the government has pledged to stop using.
Earlier this week the Immigration Minister, Robert Jenrick announced that the number of hotels used to house migrants will be cut by 50 over the next three months.That number is now reduced to just one, in the Shropshire Council area, which is overseen and run by the company Serco.
It comes as Councillor Shaun Davies, the leader of the Local Government Association, and the Labour leader of Telford & Wrekin Council, said authorities across the country are concerned about what will happen when the government stops using the hotels. He added that councils are"also becoming increasingly concerned over the numbers of asylum seekers presenting as homeless which is likely to dramatically increase when Home Office accommodation is withdrawn as a result of the current clearance of the asylum backlog".He called for a"joint and funded approach nationally, regionally and locally to manage the move on from asylum accommodation and avoid risks of destitution and street homelessness throughout the winter".
She said:"There is one hotel with in the Shropshire Local Authority area which is overseen and run by Serco and the hotel directly. Shrewsbury & Atcham's Conservative MP, Daniel Kawczynski, said he welcomed the prospect of the hotel in the county currently in use, which is in his constituency, being returned to its regular use.He said he had met with Mr Jenrick to discuss the matter earlier today and had urged him to include it in the first tranche of hotels the government ceases using.
