Some fancy apartments in London stopped delivery people from bringing food.

The apartment managers said they were worried about delivery workers who might not be allowed to work there.

This came after some people protested about asylum seekers nearby.

The companies that deliver food said they check to make sure their workers are allowed to work.

Some people living in the apartments think the ban is unfair because it only targets food delivery and not other visitors.
