Dozens of migrants are sleeping in cars after being evicted from homeless accommodation in Scotland’s capital. As many as 50 are living in vehicles in the grounds of Edinburgh’s Almond Lodge House Hotel, an investigation by the Sunday Mail has discovered.
Some, housed in the two-star hotel in the pandemic, are in a car park after being told to leave after financial support for them ran out. Many missed post-Brexit deadlines and have been deemed ineligible for support by the UK Government.
Refugee and migrants’ charity Positive Action in Housing said the situation was shameful. A spokeswoman said: “No amount of arguing about political ideology will help this crisis. It doesn’t put a roof over the heads of those struggling to survive.
