16/05/2025 - False information circulating in Hoyland

A letter sharing false information about asylum seeker accommodation has been posted through letterboxes in Hoyland and shared by the My Hoyland and Hoyland Wise Facebook accounts.  

After liaising with the Home Office, we can confirm that the information in both the letter and social media posts is completely untrue. 

It is totally irresponsible for such material to be posted and shared without any fact-checking.  

It’s crucial that community pages take the time to verify information before sharing it on social media to a large audience - not everything you read is true, and it’s sometimes created to cause the spread of hate or to promote people’s personal agendas. 

We’re working with our partners to make sure everyone has the correct information.
