Some councils say they are still pursuing legal action to stop asylum seekers from being housed in hotels in their areas, despite a Court of Appeal ruling.
The court on Friday overturned a temporary injunction which would have prevented asylum seekers from being housed at The Bell Hotel in Epping, seen as a possible precedent for legal challenges elsewhere.
Two councils told the BBC they would keep pursuing legal action. Epping Forest District Council, which obtained the injunction, said it was looking at options which included an appeal to the Supreme Court.
Reform UK said all 12 councils it controlled should explore legal options to stop asylum seekers being housed in local hotels.
More protests against hotels housing asylum seekers, as well as counter-demonstrations, took place in England and Scotland on Saturday.
