Leader of the Highland Council response to the developing situation in Afghanistan.

Leader of the Highland Council Margaret Davidson has responded to the developing situation in Afghanistan.

She said: “It is heart breaking to see the harrowing scenes in Afghanistan as people flee the country ahead of the changing Regime. The Highland Council will respond positively to requests to Local Authorities from the UK government to receive some refugees families into Highland through the resettlement scheme.  I am sure fellow councillors and communities will agree that we must do our bit to help these people at such a time of crisis.”
