UK government working on contingency plans after ruling on Epping migrant hotel
The UK government is working on contingency plans for housing asylum seekers after a court ruled that they should be removed from a hotel in Epping, Essex. UK ministers are now bracing for further legal challenges from councils across the country. Advertisement UK security minister Dan Jarvis told Times Radio on Wednesday: 'We're looking at a range of different contingency options following from a legal ruling that took place yesterday, and we'll look closely at what we're able to do.' Asked whether other migrant hotels have the proper planning permission, Mr Jarvis said: 'Well, we'll see over the next few days and weeks. 'Other local authorities will be considering whether they wish to act in the same way that Epping (Forest) District Council have. A STATEMENT FROM NIGEL FARAGE This is a victory for the parents and concerned residents of Epping. They do not want their young women being assaulted on the streets. This community stood up bravely, despite being slandered as far right, and have won. They represent the vast… — Nigel Farage MP (@Nigel_Farage) August 19, 2025 'I think the important point to make is that nobody really thinks that hotels are a sustainable location to accommodate asylum seekers. Advertisement 'That's precisely why the Government has made a commitment that, by the end of this Parliament, we would have phased out the use of them.' Reform UK leader Nigel Farage has indicated that councils run by his party will consider their own legal challenges. However, a number of these councils do not have responsibility for planning permission, which may limit their ability to launch legal challenges. Mr Farage also called for peaceful protests outside hotels housing asylum seekers to put pressure on local authorities to take the same route as Epping Forest. Advertisement Writing in The Telegraph, he said: 'Now the good people of Epping must inspire similar protests around Britain. 'Wherever people are concerned about the threat posed by young undocumented males living in local hotels and who are free to walk their streets, they should follow the example of the town in Essex. 'Let's hold peaceful protests outside the migrant hotels, and put pressure on local councils to go to court to try and get the illegal immigrants out; we now know that together we can win.' On Tuesday, a High Court judge ruled the former Bell Hotel in Epping must stop housing asylum seekers by September 12th. Advertisement Epping Forest District Council had asked a judge to issue an interim injunction stopping migrants from being accommodated there. The hotel has been at the centre of a series of protests in recent weeks after an asylum seeker who was staying there was charged with sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl. Our work with international partners is vital to stopping small boat crossings to the UK. A joint intelligence unit involving the @NCA_UK and French counterparts has helped dismantle at least 52 organised immigration crime gangs operating in France. — Home Office (@ukhomeoffice) August 17, 2025 The UK Home Office had warned the judge that an injunction could 'interfere' with the department's legal obligations, and lawyers representing the hotel's owner argued it would set a 'precedent'. Now, Conservative-run Broxbourne Council in Hertfordshire has said it was taking legal advice 'as a matter of urgency' about whether it could take similar action to Epping Forest District Council, which is also run by the Tories. Advertisement The latest Home Office data showed there were 32,345 asylum seekers being housed temporarily in UK hotels at the end of March. This was down 15 per cent from the end of December, when the total was 38,079, and 6% lower than the 34,530 at the same point a year earlier. New figures – published among the usual quarterly immigration data release – are expected on Thursday, showing numbers in hotels at the end of June. Figures for hotels published by the Home Office date back to December 2022 and showed numbers hit a peak at the end of September 2023 when there were 56,042 asylum seekers in hotels.

Work to begin on new £59m transport project in Paisley
In addition, a new road from Renfrew Road to the bridge crossing will be created which will connect into the new Paisley Grammar School Community Campus, as will dedicated walking and cycling routes. A safe access route from Gallowhill using the underpass on the former railway line will be constructed using £1.5million provided by Transport Scotland. Economic projections have estimated the project could boost the local economy by an additional £136million in private sector investment and cut carbon emissions by 21,700 tonnes, while creating new job opportunities and helping existing and new companies to grow and expand. The new road bridge across Paisley Harbour (Image: Renfrewshire Council) Renfrewshire Council Leader Iain Nicolson said: 'AMIDS is one of the most significant developments in Renfrewshire's recent history as it will bring high-quality jobs, world-leading industry and provide a significant boost to the area's economy so it is important that we provide the appropriate access to Scotland's home of manufacturing innovation. 'This project will not only provide infrastructure to better connect communities to education and employment opportunities, but it will also significantly improve the offer to organisations looking to locate here with enhanced access to the airport and the fourth-busiest train station in Scotland. 'This will be another flagship project for Renfrewshire following the completion of the Clyde Waterfront and Renfrew Riverside project, which included the new Renfrew Bridge, and will be further proof of the Council's ability to successfully deliver nationally significant infrastructure projects which bring substantial benefits now and for generations to come.' The new infrastructure will complement the recently constructed Renfrew Bridge which was part-funded by the UK Government and links Renfrew with Clydebank, Yoker and the wider Glasgow City Region. READ MORE: Local Transport Minister Simon Lightwood said: 'Backed by over £38million in Government funding, this flagship project will deliver a major boost for Paisley and for Scotland as a whole. 'It's exactly the kind of investment behind last month's announcement of nearly £340 million from our Levelling Up Fund to communities across the UK. The new bridge will provide safer, better-connected transport links for local people, businesses and schools, while driving economic growth and creating thousands of new jobs – a key part of our Plan for Change.' Farrans Construction have been appointed to deliver the project with construction planning underway, with the full project expected to be complete and open in 2028. Patrick Murray, Scotland's Regional Director for Farrans, said: "AMIDS South is a project which will deliver major economic and connectivity benefits for the town of Paisley and wider Renfrewshire, and we are looking forward to getting work started on site. 'Our experienced team has recently completed the highly-successful Govan to Partick Bridge in Glasgow and we have a long history of projects in the transportation sector in Scotland including Edinburgh Trams to Newhaven in joint venture as SFN, M80 Stepps to Haggs and the A737 Dalry Bypass in Ayrshire. We are working through the final stages of preparation with our client Renfrewshire Council and will be engaging on the ground with local stakeholders shortly." AMIDS South is the next step in the Council's ongoing capital investment programme which has already delivered the award-winning refurbishment of Paisley Town Hall, Paisley Arts Centre's renovation, the creation of the Learning and Cultural Hub on the High Street, and the transformation of Paisley Museum is almost complete as culture is put at the forefront of the area's ambitions. In addition, the council recently made the largest-ever, long-term investments in Renfrewshire's roads and pathways and school learning estate, with a ten-year, £90million investment in roads and up to £170million unlocked over future years for major investment in education establishments.
