'Arrangements underway' to move travellers on site at hotel hit by riots
The Holiday Inn Hotel was the scene of violent disorder in August 2024
Police have contacted managers at the Holiday Inn Express Hotel in Manvers - previously the site of the August 2024 violent disorder – after a number of vehicles including caravans arrived at the car park yesterday (Wednesday, September 2).
A South Yorkshire Police spokesperson said: “At 11.45am on Wednesday September 2 we received reports that several vehicles had attended the Holiday Inn car park on Manvers Way.
“This is private land and officers have spoken with hotel management who will be making arrangements for the vehicles to be removed.”
The hotel was previously the scene of violent disorder on August 4 2024 when a demonstration descended into violence.
Thugs attempted to set fire to the building, many windows were smashed and missiles were thrown at officers.
The final court sentencing for offenders involved took place earlier this year.
