Around 30 people gathered to protest against 300 male asylum seekers in Altrincham .

The men are being housed at the Cresta Court Hotel in the town.

The arrival of the 300 men has divided opinion in the community.

One of the men is Abel Nigussie , a 24-year-old who crossed the Channel from Eritrea in a small boat.

Many refugees come to the UK as a place of sanctuary as life in their home country becomes too dangerous.

"A lot of people are deeply suspicious about the fact that they are all males," said Pete , 62 .

Altrincham and Sale West MP Connor Rand said he had been assured background checks had been carried out on the men in the hotel and no issues were found.

Trafford council leader Tom Ross said: "I accept that this is far from an ideal situation for all concerned".

Home Office says it inherited an asylum system under unprecedented strain.

Thousands of asylum seekers are stuck in a backlog without their claims being processed.
