Residents living near a hotel being used to house asylum seekers have hit out at anti-immigration leaflets put through their letterboxes. The hotel, in north Cardiff, was closed in early September so it could be used as temporary accommodation for asylum seekers.
Since then, local residents have reported anti-immigration leaflets being dropped through their doors which make reference to "illegal migrants" being put up in hotels.
An asylum seeker is an immigrant who has been forcibly displaced and might have fled their home country because of war or other factors harming them or their family. They are often vulnerable and targeted by criminal gangs and traffickers.
