I visited one of the many migrant hotels popping up all over the country - it showed another manifesto pledge broken by Labour, says Ben Leo

The reality is that migrant hotels are now popping up all over the country without a damn given to worried communities and what they think about it.

Just last week we heard about the chaos in Altrincham after the Home Office took over the Best Western Hotel to house hundreds of Channel migrants.

No-one was told about it. The hotel just suddenly stopped taking bookings - including weddings - while upset locals raised concerns that 300 asylum seekers were now within walking distance of two all-girls schools.

A few days ago the Delta Marriot Hotel in Warwick also closed down to the public with immediate effect to house to 360 illegal migrants.

Locals said they hadn't heard a word from the council over the conversion of the hotel, which has 180 rooms, WiFi, a huge gym and 50 inch televisions.

The Dragonfly Hotel in Peterborough met the same fate last week. Locals there are equally as concerned as 146 asylum seekers moved in during the dead of night.

And on Thursday I learned of a similar situation in Newport Pagnell near Milton Keynes.

Labour MP for Milton Keynes North, Chris Curtis, said he objected strongly the Home Office converting a four star hotel in a motorway services as it wasn't quote safe or appropriate. The hotel just 20 yards from a newbuild residential housing estate.

We can't show you because of privacy reasons, but rooms to that hotel directly overlook that residential housing estate. It's home to young families, children and elderly residents.

Residents of that newbuild estate have been forced to border up their front windows with bedsheets because migrants regularly walk past their houses while using that fence as a shrotcut.

They've only been living in the newbuilds for around 11 months.

Surely someone from the hotel - a manager, or maybe even head of security - would be on hand to strengthen community relations?

I tried speaking to one security guard who seemed to be running the operation that day - nothing.

So just to be clear. We pay £8million a day for these hotels and their occupants are given three square meals, free internet, a roof over their head, spending money and some access to NHS healthcare and dental care.

Regardless, nobody on site was able to tell me what was going on or even answer basic questions. There was no authority to speak with, and no explanation of who anyone was. A total cloud of secrecy.

More importantly, the local residents have been kept totally in the dark.

The examples I've just reeled off are apparently tip of the iceberg.

Former Tory minister Sir Gavin Williamson told me on Friday that Labour was now using migrant hotels at warp speed despite election pledges to ditch them.

Labour arguably told a few porkies in their election run but not having the simple courtesy to inform families that asylum seekers are moving in next door is perhaps one of the biggest acts of disrespect going.

So much for smash the gangs too. More than 33,000 have now crossed the Channel in small boats this year - the Conservatives of course also shouldering the blame for that grim milestone.

Shame on you all.
