Two protests are taking place in Cornwall about a group of asylum seekers who are being housed at the Beresford Hotel, in Newquay. Both are taking place today (Saturday, February 25) in the coastal town.
The Home Office placed the group in the hotel back in November as a temporary measure. But an anti-asylum seeker protest has now been organised.
Politicians from both the Conservative and Labour parties have condemned the protest which has been advertised on social media. Organisers however say it will be "peaceful".
Concern about the demonstration has led to the organisation of a counter-protest. CornwallLive is in Newquay today as events unfold - this is our report from the scene this morning.
