Craig Mackinlay MP has called on the Government to withdraw the use of The Glenwood Hotel in Cliftonville for migrants.
The South Thanet MP made the request to Immigration Minister, Robert Jenrick, earlier this week during a Ministerial Statement to update MPs on illegal migration.
Craig Mackinlay MP commented:
“I'm very unhappy that The Glenwood Hotel in Cliftonville is being readied to house migrants from 20th September.
“East Kent is already bearing the brunt of the great burden caused by the continuing influx of migrants crossing the Channel in boats.
“That’s why I have asked the Immigration Minister, Robert Jenrick, to withdraw the use of Glenwood as contingency accommodation. The Minister has agreed to look into this and I’m continuing to monitor the situation closely.”
