MP insists no illegal migrants are being accommodated in local hotels and holiday hotspots

 

Ms Onn: social media statement

Following controversy over illegal immigrants being accommodated in hotels in Essex and elsewhere, Grimsby and Cleethorpes MP Melanie Onn has today confirmed that none of these are within her   constituency. She has today published this statement on social media. 

I have seen several rumours circulating about migrants being placed in accommodation at Haven Holiday Park, the Humber Royal Hotel or other hotels in Great Grimsby and Cleethorpes. 

I have spoken directly to the Home Office and to North East Lincolnshire Council tor claification

The truth is that no migrants are being accommodated at any of these sites.

These rumours are being spread online without evidence and are designed to cause unnecessary worry. 

It is important to separate fact from speculation, and to be cautious about claims that only ever seem to come from "a friend of a friend" on social media or through unverified Artificial Intelligence speculation.

Migrants are not being housed in these establishments, nor are there any upcoming plans to house migrants in them. 

What we are seeing is visitors coming to enjoy a holiday in our area and contributing to our local economy. 

Grimsby and Cleethorpes are proud and welcoming towns.

Tourism is a vital part of our local success.
