flag Cardiff Council rejected a bid to end hotel housing for asylum seekers, citing housing shortages and safety concerns.

flag Cardiff Council rejected a Conservative motion to end hotel housing for asylum seekers, citing concerns over unvetted individuals and housing shortages. flag The proposal, led by councillor Calum Davies, called for legal action and planning scrutiny, but was opposed by Labour and Liberal Democrats who stressed humanitarian obligations and the UK’s international commitments. flag Critics highlighted the need to address people-smuggling, asylum backlogs, and work restrictions. flag The Home Office said asylum processing has improved and hotel spending reduced, though it didn’t confirm property acquisitions in Cardiff. flag A similar local ban in Essex was overturned by the Court of Appeal. flag The decision reflects ongoing national tensions over asylum policy and local responsibilities.
