The Home Office has decided to use a local hotel for the accommodation of Asylum Seekers. This is the Home Office’s decision as part of a national response to the current challenges within the asylum system. 

We are told that this is a temporary arrangement. We are working closely with the Home Office, Serco, local health services, police, and community organisations to ensure that the needs of both our local community and those seeking refuge are addressed. 

Warwickshire County and Warwick District have a strong tradition of inclusivity, compassion, and support for people in need. While we understand the concerns surrounding the impact on local services and facilities, we remain committed to upholding these values and supporting all members of our community. 

We also recognise the important role of local faith groups, charities, and community organisations in supporting individuals during this time, and we thank them for their contributions. Together, we can ensure Warwickshire and Warwick District remain a welcoming and resilient community.
