Nearly 300 people protested the plans

Around 300 people joined a protest in Mold, Flintshire, to oppose any possible plan to provide accommodation for asylum seekers in the town.

Held outside the Poundland shop on Saturday, demonstrators were unhappy about rumours that some flats in the town could be used to house asylum seekers.

Meanwhile around 40 people took part in a counter protest nearby with banners which read “no to racism” and “asylum seekers welcome”.

Police officers had to stand between the two sides at one point during some confrontational scenes.

The Home Office has declined to comment.
