A Skegness hotel boss says she's been offered an 'obscene amount of money' on several occasions to close her business to guests and put up asylum seekers. Dee Allen, who owns Hatters Hotel in Drummond Road, told Lincolnshire Live the first offer came in September last year.
Mrs Allen, who runs the hotel with her husband, said she turned down a £10,000-a-week offer to house 52 refugees for at least three months. She said it would have had a 'negative' impact on the coastal town.
And Mrs Allen explained she rejected the same 'obscene' Government offer in October just gone. "We said at the time that we would never, ever do that to the community," said 35-year-old Mrs Allen.
