Minutes:
The Leader, on behalf of the Council, expressed dismay and horror at recent events in Ukraine. He referred to the Council’s history of coming to the aid of refugees and indicated that, although the Government had not asked for assistance at that point, the Council would do everything it was able to in response to any such requests. As a symbol of solidarity with the people of Ukraine, and in support of international law and the right to democracy, the Council would be flying the Ukrainian flag.
Members were reminded that collections for Ukrainian refugees were taking place at specified locations in the borough and the Council would be sign posting these collection points. The Leader praised the terrific effort being demonstrated by residents and businesses in the borough.
