Angry residents living near an Essex migrant hotel say they will stop paying council tax after the High Court ruling allowing the asylum seekers to stay.
The Bell Hotel, in Epping, became the epicentre of protests that swept the country last month after a migrant boarder was accused of sexually assaulting a 14-year-old girl.
The continued protests led the local council to obtain a landmark High Court injunction to block the Home Office from placing any more migrants at the hotel.
The ruling immediately led to dozens of councils across the country saying they too will launch similar High Court bids to stop the Home Office filling hotels in their areas with migrants.
But anti-migrant protesters received a crushing blow on Friday, when three High Court judges overturned the Bell Hotel injunction, meaning the 138 migrants staying there will no longer be removed by September 12th.
