THE impending arrival of 50 Syrian refugees into Worcestershire has sparked a deluge of public reaction - with the move appearing to divide opinion.

People across the county have got in touch to have their say since it was revealed how the desperate refugee's arrivals are just weeks away.

While Worcestershire County Council has got lots of praise, many people say the figure is too high.

It comes as Worcestershire now faces more pressure to accpet even more after the Prime Minister's sudden u-turn on Wednesday.

David Cameron has dropped his opposition over letting a further 3,000 refugee children in dangerous EU refugee camps arrive here, with councils expected to now share the extra burden of taking them in.

It will take the number of Syrian refugees entering Britain between now and 2020 from 23,000 to 26,000, with the extra children due to be identified from camps in France, Greece and Italy.

For now no changes are planned to Worcestershire's deal to take in 50 refugees this year, but Mr Cameron's promise means the county council will be asked to consider going further in the years to come.

The Local Government Association, which represents town halls, yesterday encouraged a wide debate, warning that child refugees should not become the responsibility of only a small number of English councils.
