Following extensive roof replacement works carried out recently works have begun at the former Chimneys Hotel (formerly The Trust) on East Street in Blackhall Colliery as its owners prepare to reopen as a provider of supported living accommodation for people with autism or learning disabilities.
Predictably the rumour mill has been cranked up again by a handful of people on social media deliberately misleading residents with claims that the building will be used as a crack-den, luxury accommodation for illegal immigrants, a mosque and even a training centre for radical hate preachers! Unfortunately for those who appear desperate to create alarm and division in our community the truth is a bit more mundane.
