A country house hotel on the outskirts of Bolton will not be used for asylum seeker accommodation after intervention from an MP and Bolton Council.
Last week, it emerged that the Mercure Bolton Georgian House Hotel on Manchester Road, Blackrod, had voluntarily offered to use its rooms and facilities to house people being processed by the Home Office for asylum.
However, having learned of the Mercure offer, the leadership of Bolton Council and Chris Green, MP for Bolton West and Atherton, said they had worked together to prevent any contract with government agencies from taking place.
The MP said earlier today that after talks with immigration ministers he could confirm that the Home Office will not be taking up the hotel’s offer. He said that although Bolton is a 'welcoming place and has a proud record of taking in those who need it most', it was time for others to step up and do their bit.

Mr Green, added: “Following my conversation with the minister, I can confirm that this proposal is not going ahead.
“Having discussed this matter with the leader of Bolton Council, Coun Martyn Cox, it was clear that this proposal would have negatively impacted the local community and placed additional strain on local schools and GP services which do not have extra capacity.
“The proposed hotel is also isolated from any local amenities and shops and is not accessible by public transport. Bolton already does its fair share to support asylum seekers and I am pleased that the minister has listened to these local concerns.”
The Mercure Bolton Georgian House is a former country house with spa and leisure facilities. Its website states:
