🌍🏠 Exciting Changes in Mold! A new asylum seeker dispersal centre is opening in this charming market town, ready to provide temporary homes for up to 35 individuals. Located at the Ambrose Centre, this initiative is sparking conversations among locals.
🔍 Why now? There’s been a national shift to distribute asylum seekers more evenly across the UK, lessening the burden on specific areas and reducing reliance on costly hotels.
MP Becky Gittins is at the forefront, addressing concerns and seeking clarity from the Home Office. 🏢 The Ambrose Centre will focus on housing families spread across nine apartments. As of now, no families are there, but this could change quickly.
📊 How does Flintshire compare? Here’s a snapshot:
– Flintshire: 36 asylum seekers
– Wrexham: 109
– Denbighshire: 52
– Gwynedd: 45
🤝 Ms Gittins, a local herself, is urging for compassion and support, highlighting the community’s history of warmth and inclusion. She emphasises the importance of treating all individuals with kindness, especially those who may be vulnerable.
Let’s welcome this new chapter in Mold with open hearts and minds! 💙
