Owners of Norfolk hotel at centre of Home Office row reveal reopening date

The new owners of the Park Hotel in Diss announced they will be opening the doors to the site on November 8 as it enters a "brand-new chapter" as a venue for the community.

They shared the news on the hotel's social media, alongside shutting down a myth that the restoration was funded through taxpayers' money.

In a post on Facebook it said: "The hotel is now under new ownership and management and we’re opening a brand-new chapter, focused on restoring the Park Hotel for the local community.

"Over the past month, our family-run team has been working hard to refurbish the building and bring it back to life."
