The council also expects to find out this week how many asylum seekers are due to arrive in Nottingham
Nottingham City Council is developing a plan to cope with 'significant numbers' of asylum seekers who could arrive in the East Midlands in the next few months. The authority says a change in Government policy earlier this year means more asylum decisions will be made before the end of 2023.
According to figures for the end of June 2023, there were 175,457 people awaiting an initial decision on their claim, which is 44 percent higher than the figure from the previous year. These asylum seekers are placed in accommodation across the UK – usually in hotels.Nottingham City Council’s Health and Wellbeing Board will discuss the plans at its meeting on September 27. The authority said that national policy change will result in “significant numbers” being granted asylum by the end of 2023.
This applied to adults from Afghanistan, Eritrea, Libya, Syria and Yemen and was later expanded to include some claimants from Iraq, Iran and Sudan. City Council documents stated: “The new policy will result in a large number of asylum claims being made across the UK by the end of the year. “Furthermore, it is not known what proportion of those given leave to remain will choose to stay in Nottingham nor how many individuals granted asylum will decide to move to the city. We also understand that due to the high numbers granted status on appeal many of those who receive a negative decision will put in an appeal.
