UNAUTHORISED parking on the old railway yard in Hewell Road, Redditch, came to an end last Wednesday when contractors moved in to prepare the site for a multi million pound hotel.
From now until the end of the year KingsOak will be putting the infrastructure in place to allow work to start on the 100 bed Holiday Inn Express in January 2006.
Company solicitor for Meridian Leisure, Christina Broulidakis said: "Work on the actual building should commence on January 14 and last for ten months.
"We hope to open the hotel in October next year."
Meridian Leisure's operations manager, Andy Hall, said: "People have already been enquiring about job opportunities, but we have a long way to go yet."
He guessed that about 25 news jobs would be created when the hotel opens its doors.
