## Resource

Another fire at the historic Grand Atlantic Hotel in Weston-super-Mare has sparked fresh outrage, with local officials blaming the owners for neglecting security despite recent break-ins and vandalism. Council leader Mike Bell warns the building’s vulnerabilities are “bound to lead to trouble,” while MP Dan Aldridge pushes for the landmark to be restored and reactivated — not left as a dangerous eyesore. Once a school, then a hotel, the building’s promised renovation has stalled, leaving it overrun with graffiti and trash — and now, a fire that was already out by arrival. Residents and leaders alike are demanding action, questioning whether the owners’ security measures are truly enough to protect this iconic structure.
