    Holiday Inn Hotel at Manvers, Wath-on-Dearne

    The hotel manager at the Holiday Inn has hit back at the backlash from residents, the council
    & MP's since the government extended its contract to house asylum seekers.
    The manager said she was disapointed at the aggression from some groups, & individuals
    towards those staying at the Holiday Inn, Manvers.
    Residents have discovered police have been called to dozens of incidents , which may be
    linked to the hotel, while Rotherham council have raised concerns regarding the suitability of the
    hotel for housing asylum seekers, to which they were considering taking legal action. But other
    councils had brought legal challenges with a similar problem, so at the present time advised
    not to proceed.
    The Holiday Inn, at Manvers is owned by a family who are immigrants to the U/K themselves,
    the manager said, that the hotel was asked by agents on behalf of the Home Office, to
    consider housing refugees, & the hotel thought it was a duty of care to those seeking asylum.

    After submitting a Freedom of Information request to the police, regarding the number of
    incidents that had taken place at the hotel, since asylum seekers & refugees arrived last
    September
    Police gave details of cases where the premises were named between January 2018 &
    September 2022, the FOI response which the Weekender newspaper had seen, showed
    the police were called to a total of 72 incidents, including assault, stalking, rape, ***ual
    assault, theft, modern slavery & trafficking, with 36 of those incidents taking place between
    2021 & 2022.
    Only 4 people were charged or summonsed in relation to these figures, residents have
    voiced their concerns, a young girl on a electric scooter was frightened after 3 men were
    standing on the landing at the hotel staring & watching her, the child will not play outside
    her own home now, with one person saying they take their dog out after feeling intimidated
    by the young men in the hotel.
    Opposition groups have reportedly demonstrated at the hotel, including a You tube channel
    called Yorkshire Rose, who record footage of hotels across the country, where asylum
    seekers are housed
    Local MP John Healey said he would be taking the hotel issue forward, with the minister for
    immigration, Robert Jenrick, with John Healey saying he had met representatives from the
    Manvers Residents Association to discuss their concerns.
    After the police were contacted by the Rotherham Advertiser, [ Weekender sister paper ] for
    comment on anti-social behaviour at the hotel, police said it was classed as " Noise Pollution ",
    which was Rotherham Metropolitan Borough Council's responsibility.

    Because the locals have no faith in the police ( nor John Healey) many incidents are going unreported

    One truth that should be on the top of any list

    Later year net migration was plus 504000. That's roughly 2 towns the size of Rotherham including the outlying boroughs.

    504000 more that want housing, jobs access to schools, dentists etc etc

    And it's getting worse.

    This is the thing Grist which escapes the usual suspects .

    This is a country that can't provide enough decent affordable housing stock for its current population .

    This is a country that can't provide decent wages for its population and the government have to top that up with in work benefits .

    This is a country where it's difficult to obtain a doctor's appointment , be seen within four hours of arriving at casualty or obtaining a hospital bed .

    School places are at a premium .

    The country can't provide a reasonable level of infrastructure for the current population never mind accept any more migrants .

    As for the jobs crisis do some of these young and fit lads currently residing in UK hotels look to you like they are seeking a career in Social Care or the NHS ?

    We need to build a house every 5 minutes just to accommodate the people coming in, never mind all the people already here who don't have housing.

    Basically going to have to either cut immigration, which none of the mainstream parties has any intention of doing, or build massive skyscrapers in the cities, especially London, and there's not enough money for that either.

    They could cancel HS2 and build a number of them though.

    Take a look at the map on this webpage, it shows population per sq kilometre

    We have a population density similar to India

    A crowded island getting more crowded

    If you welcome refugees or economic migrants as they are, then pay for them. Why should the rest who are struggling to pay bills and everygrowing price increases and nhs waiting lists have to put up with this.

    Moan about prices been high but these free loaders have to be be paid for.

    I’d rather pay for the people of our country to have a roof at night
