Asylum seekers stuck in Falkirk hotel for months speak about 'despair'

Asylum seekers who have been living in a former Falkirk hotel for months waiting for their applications to be processed have spoken of their despair at living in limbo for so long.

The Cladhan Hotel has been used as a place for asylum seekers by the home office since last November and currently there are 50 men waiting to have their applications heard.

Many have been there for months, but with more than 60 more having just arrived at the Metro Hotel at Bean Cross Farm, a local charity group helping them has warned that Falkirk lacks the kind of support they need.
