An Epping councillor has vowed to "keep fighting" after a court appeal was rejected.

The Bell Hotel in Essex must continue housing asylum seekers after the council lost a Court of Appeal bid to challenge a High Court ruling.

The council tried to appeal against the November decision not to grant an injunction blocking the hotel’s owner, Somani Hotels, from accommodating asylum seekers at the Bell Hotel.

In a judgment this morning, two Court of Appeal judges said the appeal could not go ahead.

Speaking to GB News, Conservative Councillor Holly Whitbread said the decision was "really disappointing," saying: "The council have used every legal avenue available to us. And unfortunately, in terms of the court, this has now come to the end of the road, although we will keep fighting."
