The UK Prime Minister, Sir Keir Starmer has told the BBC he understands if some people are frustrated, one year on from Labour taking government.
Now, he says, the government is in "phase two", where the focus is on "delivery, delivery, delivery".
"I completely get it," Starmer said when asked how he would feel if a hotel housing asylum seekers was at the end of his street.
He added: "Local people by and large do not want these hotels in their towns, in their place, and nor do I. I’m completely at one with them on that."
Starmer says he understands why people want the hotels closed and he wants that too "as quickly as possible".
Asked to put a date on it, Starmer reiterates his commitment to do so by the end of this Parliament.
