WE, the undersigned, wish to object in the strongest possible terms to the Home Office’s plan to house asylum seekers in the Stradey Park Hotel, Llanelli.

The four-star hotel currently operates as a going concern and we wish to see it continue in business to play its vital role in Carmarthenshire’s tourism policy.

The hotel is completely unsuitable for use as accommodation for asylum seekers. The plan also puts nearly 100 jobs in jeopardy.

We fully support Carmarthenshire Council’s preferred model of distributing asylum seekers throughout the wider community, a model which offers so much more for their health and wellbeing.

This petition is intended for Prime Minister Rishi Sunak and Home Secretary Suella Braverman.

Petition organised by the Furnace Action Committee
