He's spoken out after some rumours began circulating
The public has been assured by the owner of Skegness' former town hall that his plans to turn the building into a hotel will not lead to it being used to house asylum seekers. Taj Bola bought the 97 year old building in 2022 for £600,000 and hopes to turn it into a 57-bed hotel.
This comes after the government continues to look for locations to house people, including including RAF Scampton and disused cruise ships. Mr Bola, who also owns the Royal Hotel in Skegness, explained that people have been asking him f the new hotel would be housing refugees reports Lincolnshire Live.He said: "There has been a great deal of speculation that the proposed hotel will be used to house asylum seekers. I can categorically state that this will not be the case.
He continued: "Much of the interior of the hotel will be sourced from Dubai and the Far East to create an unrivalled visitor experience. Some rooms will even have their own saunas. Matt Warman MP for Boston and Skegness has raised the issue with Prime Minister Rishi Sunak previously. In December 2022, he said: "Two weeks ago more than 350 people attended a meeting in Skegness to discuss the use of five seafront hotels to house asylum seekers.
