Taskforcef­orrefugees

-

Given the challenge that is the refugee crisis reared by the rambling mind of what appears to be an unwell Russian president as opposed to the Russian people it is incumbent that we give all assistance we can to the refugees fleeing their homeland of Ukraine.

I suggest we set up a local task force headed up by organisati­ons who can address the social,medical and local integratio­n problems that the refugees, that we would welcome, face as a group and individual­ly .

The first social issue is housing and I have written to the leader of the council suggesting that any plans to demolish the High Flats at Riverside be cancelled and that a plan is devised by the refugee task force to bring these into play as a centre for the refugees immediatel­y. All shoulders to the wheel. Religious leaders,doctors, council social team and the good citizens of our town to subscribe to the task force. Chic Brodie, Ayr
