Worcestershire towns will be participating in the Government Afghan Refugee Settlement Scheme. Where those coming from Afghanistan will be rehoused in Worcesteshire.

We contacted Worcestershire County Worcestershire County Council for clarification on how this would work and how would it affect those living in the council as services were concerned, schools, hospitals etc.

Councillor Matt Dormer, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Communities at Worcestershire County Council said, "Worcestershire will be receiving families through the ARAP (Afghan Relocations and Assistance Policy) scheme which is supporting the interpreters and other personnel that supported our military.

These people will start arriving throughout Worcestershire from September. That scheme is being led by the County Council with support from all districts. This is in addition to the UKRS (UK Resettlement Scheme), which we are also expecting refugees arrivals from imminently.

"Any details on further schemes, including the most recent Afghan Citizen Resettlement Scheme (ACRS), are currently being discussed, so we are unable to confirm plans or numbers."
