More than 300 asylum seekers could be placed in a hotel in Llanelli. The Home Office has submitted a proposal to consider Stradey Park Hotel for the purpose of providing contingency accommodation.
But Carmarthenshire County Council, along with Dyfed-Powys Police and Crime Commissioner, Dafydd Llywelyn, and Hywel Dda University Health Board said they were "extremely concerned by the risks" involved with the proposal.
The statement read: "Concerns include the impact it will have on the cohesion of the local community, service delivery – which include the availability of school places and access to local health services and GP services, and the risk and the suitability of the accommodation to the asylum seekers themselves."
