There are concerns for the future of the resort
Frustrated Skegness residents have urged their local council to take legal action to protect the town’s tourism after hotels were given over to house asylum seekers. Around 200 migrants have already been placed in five hotels in Skegness, which has proved extremely controversial.
Great Yarmouth Borough Council was awarded a temporary ban on more hotels being used as hostels last week, meaning the Home Office couldn’t house unprocessed asylum seekers there. It doesn’t affect those already at the resort, and a final decision will be made by the High Court next month.A spokesperson for East Lindsey District Council said: “We have been very aware of the various court injunctions that have been in process and we are monitoring their progress.
Hoteliers claimed holidaymakers were already cancelling bookings for next year due to the controversy. One owner said he had turned down £500,000 of government money to use his hotel as a hostel.
