Speculation that Exmouth's planned new hotel would be used to accommodate homeless people are being rubbished by the district council.
There have been claims that the 60-room Premier Inn on the sea front could become a temporary home for families with no roof over their heads.
East Devon district council says the number of homeless people in bed & breakfasts is currently at a historically low level and it certainly hasn't had any talks with Premier Inn about using the new hotel for that purpose.
