View answerThe government is aware of public interest and questions regarding the arrival of those seeking international protection. A Community Engagement Team has been set up to engage directly with elected representatives, relevant Local Authorities, Local Development Companies, and other stakeholders where relevant and appropriate.
The purpose of the team is to improve the flow of information regarding arrivals into areas and to help equip local communities with pertinent information required to help with the welcome and integration process for new arrivals.
The Community Engagement Team has contacted the Deputy directly to discuss the project referred to by the Deputy.
