Blackpool’s Metropole Hotel has been used as asylum seeker accommodation since 2021
Blackpool’s Metropole Hotel looks set to continue to be used for housing asylum seekers despite government plans to relocate migrants from other hotels around the country. It comes as the Home Office has announced the first 50 hotels across the UK will stop housing asylum seekers by the end of next January with councils, MPs and accommodation providers in those areas already notified.
“Having repeatedly made clear it is not a location suitable for such use I very much wish to see asylum seekers relocated as soon as possible. The burden of doing so, however, should not fall on the local authority. I have asked ministers to ensure I am kept informed.”A spokesperson for Blackpool Council said they had also not received a notification.
At the time Mr Jenrick replied that he recognised Blackpool has ‘borne a disproportionate burden’ and pledged to ‘swiftly disperse’ migrants at the Metropole to more appropriate accommodation.
