A Syrian family’s hotel stay while they fight to be allowed to remain in the UK has cost £28k so far
The family of five have been refused settlement status eight times.
They claim their lives would be at risk if they were returned to Syria and so have been put up in a hotel for 10 months.
The bill for their accommodation is costing Staffordshire County Council £700 a week.
