The hotels owners turned down a offer of £132,000 paid every 13 weeks, to close the hotel to
holiday-makers etc, & take in asylum seekers.
The couple said, their " Morals & beliefs " stopped them from accepting the offer, adding that
at least 5 hotels in Skegness had reportedly accepted the home office offer.
The home office previously admitted, that the short term solution of using hotels to accomodate
asylum seekers, was costing £5.6m a day to house 37,000 asylum seekers.
