Syrian Refugees

Posted on September 10, 2015

This is a very emotive subject. I would like to make things clear regarding the decision taken at the Town Council Meeting on 9/9/2015. Faringdon Town Council do not have the power to make any decisions regarding the acceptance of refugees. The council were asked to offer verbal support to a group of Faringdon residents who plan to lobby local and central government to support refugees. There was an open and two sided debate where different viewpoints were discussed. A majority voted to offer verbal support to the group. Residents are very welcome to all our meetings and there is always public speaking time at Full Council meetings. I have included a link to our meeting calendar. Please come. The Town Council need your views and want to represent the community. If you have any questions please feel free to email me.
