Argyll and Bute Council has announced today that it will be looking at ways to offer support to refugees fleeing the Syrian crisis.

Council Leader, Councillor Dick Walsh, said: “In Argyll and Bute we will be working closely with our Community Planning Partners to create a package of support for refugees.

“We have a great track record of working together and those successful partnerships will stand us in good stead at times like this.
