Dumbarton and the Vale won't be housing any of the Syrian families who flew into Glasgow Airport today.

It was initially thought that a number of the families may be housed in the area but West Dunbartonshire Council revealed that none of the 100 people who arrived as refugees will be staying in Dumbarton.

However, the council has made the decision to house 10 of the families arriving in the Radnor Park area of Clydebank next week.

Councillors agreed back in September to formally support the housing of those fleeing the conflict in Syria. The UK Government has agreed to take in 20,000 refugees over the next five years with the Scottish Government committed to take 10 percent of those coming to the UK.

A spokesman for West Dunbartonshire Council said: "Following the council's commitment to offer support, a small number of Syrian refugee families will be arriving in the Clydebank area during the week of November 23.

"The Syrian families arriving have fled from war and persecution and should be afforded space and privacy to familiarise themselves with their new surroundings.

"At this stage, no formal plans have been made to receive more families.”
