🏨 Standing Up for Planning Integrity: Our Motion on Migrant Hotel Use 🏨
Yesterday at Full Council, we tabled Motion 971, calling for stronger planning enforcement where hotels are being used for long-term migrant accommodation without proper permission.
While the motion was rejected by opposing parties, we’re proud to have led the charge on an issue that matters deeply to local communities.
✅ We stood up for planning law and local accountability.
✅ We called for transparency and consultation before national decisions impact our towns.
✅ We ensured Gloucestershire is ready to respond to ongoing legal developments around hotel use.
This was never just about one vote—it was about making sure local voices are heard and respected. By putting this issue on the agenda, we’ve already made progress. 💬
Thank you to everyone who supported us. We’ll keep working to protect our communities and uphold the integrity of local planning.
