  • Reform UK Councillor Matthew Caton warned that Urban House, an asylum seeker centre, faces serious allegations.
  • The centre provides over 300 beds for 200-260 people, making it Yorkshire and the Humber’s largest.
  • Caton said centres should clear people in 2-3 days, yet Urban House retains residents for months or years.
  • He warned Home Office imposes asylum seekers on the district, leaving council blind to arrivals, hindering child protection.
