I was made aware last week of posts circulating on social media concerning the Barons Court Hotel being used as a migrant hotel.
Following these posts I immediately contacted Walsall Council.
I am pleased to confirm that this post was not correct. The hotel hasn’t been used at any point for these purposes.
This is not the first time that incorrect information has been shared on social media about the hotel being used and whilst we must remain vigilant, we also have a responsibility to the wider community not to share misleading information.
I am also pleased that following an agreement by the former Conservative Council there remain no plans to host any migrant hotels in the Borough of Walsall.
