Residents living near a migrant hotel outside Chesterfield are calling for its closure after two years of housing asylum seekers.
Locals claim the migrants are making their lives a misery with increasing antisocial behaviour.
Complaints include noise, litter and groups of men loitering, asking for money and looking through windows.
Residents say they were "not consulted" when the site reopened under a Home Office contract.

There are also concerns about safety on a nearby trail, with warnings circulating on Facebook about men following women through the park.
In December 2023, a 27-year-old resident of the hotel was arrested on suspicion of possessing explosives, though he was later released on bail.
Police stated that nothing found at the site posed any danger to the public.
Shannon Freeman, 31, told the Daily Mail: "We see the comings and goings. They have been on the street looking through people's windows. We got cameras, and that seemed to stop.
"I have been here since this street was built three years ago, and the asylum seekers have been here for two years. They were fine at first. It is only in the last six months that they have started to behave in a bad way."
Gary Cook's family used to own the hotel, but it changed hands a number of times before the contract with the Home Office.
He said: "I think there are about 80 blokes in there and it has lowered the value of the houses around here and it is not great for the hotel.

"I think it is totally run down now. So it will be hard to get over the stigma and turn it back into a hotel. It is not an ideal scenario. It is a shame to see it laid to waste."
Chelsea Lodge, 23, a mother of two, stated: "I have come off the bus three times, and they have been running up asking for money."
Marina Tamasauskas, 41, said: 'I am not racist, but they are causing problems.
"They have been loitering on the streets. One of the blokes was filming out the windows."
