What used to be a peaceful, much-loved local hangout in Cambridgeshire has become the centre of a heated row after a luxury hotel at a popular waterpark was suddenly turned into temporary housing for male asylum seekers — without so much as a warning to locals.
The Dragonfly Hotel, nestled by the scenic River Nene in Thorpe Meadows, Peterborough, is no ordinary place. Overlooking a 1,000-metre rowing lake and sitting next to the sprawling Nene Park, it’s been a favourite with young people in the warmer months — a go-to spot for sunbathing, swimming, and outdoor sports. But everything changed almost overnight, reported the Express.
