Asylum seekers house in a Snowdonia hotel have turned up in "flip flops and t-shirts with absolutely nothing." There are 83 men being housed at the hotel which has been taken over by the Home Office on a three-month contract.
A local shop worker described how men from the hotel who visited her store were "extremely polite and often scared/confused as they know nothing of the local shops." She said: "Most are wearing flip flops and t-shirts/hoodies as they are without suitable clothing. These guys have absolutely nothing, just the few clothes on their backs. I feel extremely sorry for them, that they are being spoken about so badly."
The site has been classed as a short-term "emergency overflow facility. It is housing asylum seekers on a temporary basis because long-term facilities are full. As asylum applications are processed, and bed spaces become available, the intention is to move claimants from overflow sites, NorthWalesLive reports.
