New Hartlepool hotel to create jobs

Crucial stages in an epic plan to create a multi-million pound waterside hotel complex on the new marina in Hartlepool may lead to many local jobs, according to a source.

Accompanied by a number of restaurants, cafes, bars and offices, the four-star hotel building makes up part of a development known as Trincomalee Wharf and is expected to be seven storeys high, reports the Hartlepool Mail.

This suggests that restaurant work and pub jobs may also be in the offing should plans for the full development be given the go-ahead.

A development report claims the project "has the potential to provide a significant addition to the marina strengthening its role as a place to live, work and play", adding the hotel would be "particularly welcome".

The plans will be taken before a council committee on Wednesday who will decide if permission should be granted, however, according to the publication, councillors are being urged to support the plans.

Latest figures from the North East England website show that tourism contributes £3.4 billion towards the region's economy, with 8.5 million people "staying overnight" in 2006.
