ANOTHER local council has lost a bid for a High Court injunction temporarily banning the use of a hotel to accommodate asylum-seekers. 

Fenland District Council brought the legal action following plans to use the Rose and Crown Hotel in Wisbech, Cambridgeshire, to temporarily house asylum-seekers. 

The Tory-led council had argued that the area was an inappropriate place for people seeking asylum, due to “recognised problems” in Wisbech, including “migrant exploitation,” human-trafficking and gangs.
