A second hotel in Shropshire is to become an Asylum Dispersal centre, the county council has been told.
Shropshire Council is told of second asylum dispersal for county
Shropshire Council says it has not been part of the planning for the move and says it is investigating whether there is a licensing issue in regard to the hotel becoming a house of multiple occupancy. "Although the responsibility for this contingency hotel sits firmly with Serco - councils do not receive funding - we are keen to be involved and support Serco/arrivals as much as possible to ensure this is as smooth an experience as we can make it. All arrivals need to be registered with a GP and have a health assessment and three GP practices in Oswestry have come forward to support."
