Close the Moat House Migrant Hotel in Earley, Berkshire.

Background

Close the migrant hotel in our community immediately and end its use as mass accommodation. Relocate residents to properly managed sites, away from locals, with safeguarding, dispersal and accountability, and stop forcing unsuitable hotels on communities without their consent.

Additional details

Earley is not a dumping ground for failed immigration policy. It is reckless to place unvetted adults into an area with schools nearby, without safeguarding. Locals have no idea who is being housed or what checks were carried out. Alongside reports of harassment and stalking, police recorded 21 offences nearby in November 2025, including 13 violent or sexual crimes, and a sexual assault conviction in 2024. Women and girls feel unsafe. This is a clear failure of the Government’s duty of care.
