The number of asylum-seekers housed in hotels has fallen, according to latest figures.

There were just over 32,000 living in taxpayer-funded hotels in March this year, that’s down from just over 38,000 in December last year, although it’s a 9% increase since last summer.

Labour came to power in July 2024. Hotels are meant to provide temporary accommodation for asylum-seekers – but how are they viewed by local communities?

Ed Thomas reports from Hull, a city where hundreds of asylum seekers have been housed.

Many local people pride themselves on being welcoming, but there were also riots there last summer.
