The Delta Marriott hotel near Warwick, once a popular spot for festive gatherings and weddings, has been repurposed by the Home Office to house asylum seekers.
The hotel is one of seven new asylum hotels opened since Labour took office, despite its manifesto pledge to phase out their use. With 133,409 asylum claims awaiting decisions as of September and nearly 100,000 new applications in the past year, the system remains overwhelmed.
Labour restarted claim processing after the previous government stalled it with laws directing illegal arrivals to Rwanda. However, the backlog persists, and the number of asylum seekers in hotels has risen 21% since July to 35,361 across 220 locations nationwide.
