A Four-Star Spa Hotel That Laid Off ALL Its Staff To Accommodate 241 Asylum Seekers

A four-star spa hotel which is reportedly sacking all its staff and cancelling all events is facing legal action.

Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli, Carmarthenshire, is said to be accommodating up to 241 asylum seekers across its 77 rooms, under new plans by the Home Office.

According to a newspaper outlet, 95 full and part-time staff are facing redundancy from July 10 following the disclosure of these plans.

It reported that all events, including weddings at the venue, had been cancelled following that date.

Carmarthenshire County Council confirmed it’s now taking the hotel owners and the Home Office’s housing contractor to the High Court over claims that they have changed the use of the facility without planning permission.

Leader of Carmarthenshire County Council, Darren Price, said that Carmarthenshire County Council has recommended legal proceedings against Gryphon Leisure Limited, Sterling Woodrow Limited, Clearsprings Ready Homes Limited, Robert Horwood and Gareth Street regarding the material change of use without planning permission of the Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli and that this case has been listed for a hearing on 7 July at the High Court at the Royal Courts of Justice, Strand, London.

Darren Price added that the Council are unable to make any further comments at this time due to the need to respect the legal process that is underway.

Dame Nia Griffith MP said in a previous statement that this was hugely concerning and that she would continue to oppose any such proposal very vigorously, making clear the very strong opposition from local people.

A Home Office spokesman said that the number of people arriving in the United Kingdom who require accommodation has reached record levels and has put our asylum system under incredible strain and that they’ve been clear that the use of hotels to house asylum seekers is unacceptable, and that there are currently more than 51,000 asylum seekers in hotels costing the UK taxpayer £6 million a day.

The spokesperson added that the Home Office was committed to making every effort to reduce hotel use and limit the burden on the taxpayer.

It came as the Home Office faces another legal challenge next week from two other councils over its plans to house migrants in two UK military bases.

West Lindsey District Council and Braintree District Council are opposed to plans to turn the RAF Scampton base in Lincolnshire and RAF Wethersfield in Essex into a haven for migrants.

Hopefully, they will be taken to the cleaners and fined heavily.

Our Government pledged to us that this would stop, but instead, they’re still enabling them to come to our shores, while our British-born homeless people are left on the street in this country – something isn’t right.

And how much is our government paying for these hotels? It must have outstripped what these hotels were going to get from the many bookings they already had.

This has happened to a lot of large seafront hotels which used to be topped with holidaymakers, now it’s ruined, and what used to be a beautiful place to go is now full of migrants.

Our government actually needs to start acting in accordance with the law, not just doing whatever they feel like doing.

There are over 300 hotels that have been taken over by the government to house immigrants crossing the channel. Thousands of people have lost their jobs because of this as well, so instead of helping our unemployment problem, they’re helping to cause it.
