A council leader has described the protests outside a hotel used as a “powder keg” position to refugee seekers.

Protests followed the arrests and allegations of an asylum seeker on suspicion of alleged sexual attacks in the city.

Whitbred said there were concerns about the place that is near a school and town center.

“People with fair minds within the local community, initially protesting peacefully, want to close the hotel,” he said.

He said that he expressed sympathy with the “weak” shelter seekers in the hotel, but emphasized the places that had a low impact on the “established communities” found by the house office.

“This is now a powder keg and we need to do something and we need a home office to hear,” he said.

Asked if he had a message to Mr. Yaxley-Lennan and his supporters, Mr. Whitbred said: “Stay away, [you’re] There is no reception here in Epping Forest.

“What we want to do, make sure that our city is peaceful and people can enjoy their lives here. This is the most important message.”
