Restoration of the historic Park Hotel in Selection Park is underway again.
The building, which has suffered many years of neglect and vandalism, is a cause of great concern to residents who believe the building is an eyesore and decreases property values in the area.
The derelict property has also attracted vagrants and other unsavoury characters.
