THE question is whether the authorities and us citizens are able to support and integrate one Syrian family within our town?
Most of us have needed others to give us a chance at sometime in our lives.
Can we ask our council to be the nucleus for the provision of one house or flat and the schools to take one/two children and the medics to take care of one extra family?
Families who have survived the horrors of war and terrible journeys are likely to make a success for themselves after a couple of years of humane support.
Can we as a little town show we have that humanity and try?
