Plans have drawn widespread criticism and concern
A small village in West Northamptonshire is said to contain "a lot of anxiety" among residents over the prospect of up to 400 asylum seekers being housed in a hotel there. Creaton, near Northampton, has a population of just 500 people, and Home Office plans to use Highgate Hotel has drawn widespread criticism and concern.

In addition, the petition the MP had placed on his website to gather the opinions of residents received 450 responses by the time it closed on Tuesday evening, Mr Hill added.
West Northants already houses more asylum seekers than anywhere in the East Midlands, with 630 housed in hotels across the area. WNC expressed "significant concern" when it announced just before Christmas that the Home Office intended to use the hotel. Asylum hotels can house either families of migrants or single men. Mr Hill said the latter would be the "most disturbing outcome for people, because it's not quite as savoury for some people".
