Stanwell Hotel: Extraordinary Council meeting

News update
An Extraordinary Council Meeting will take place on Thursday 7 August at 7pm to discuss the proposed changes to the mix of residents at Stanwell Hotel. The Home Office will determine the outcome regarding the hotel independently. While they are not obligated to consult with us or consider our representations, they are now actively engaging with us.

The Council motion that will be discussed is:

The Council call upon the Homes Office to -

  1. Immediately reconsider its plans to utilise the Stanwell Hotel to house adult male only asylum seekers.
  2. Actively consult and work with the Local Authority.
  3. Continue engaging with key stakeholders and support the existing client group of families and single female asylum seekers at the Stanwell Hotel.
  4. Give due regard to public concerns, local services and the local community.

The meeting documents are available to view on our website Agenda for Council on Thursday, 7 August 2025, 7.00 pm - Spelthorne Borough Council. The meeting will also be live streamed on our YouTube Extraordinary Council Meeting 07 August 2025
