Boulders dumped at entrance to hotel planned to house asylum seekers in Llanelli

Boulders have been mysteriously dumped across the entrance to a hotel due to house hundreds of asylum seekers. A local group opposing the asylum plans for the Stradey Park Hotel in Llanelli, said it was not responsible.

A spokesperson for the Furnace Action Committee said it hoped the five boulders would highlight opposition to the plan, but it had not condoned or put them there. Carmarthenshire Council has also said it had nothing to do with the rocks, which were first seen by hotel staff on June 6.

The Furnace Action Committee said opponents are concerned that the hotel is the wrong place for traumatised asylum seekers and would put pressure on local services. It denied the campaign was fuelled by racism.
