Well, with almost zero affordable housing in East Devon, where else is there? Cranbrook, perhaps?

This is what Leader Diviani has said (our translation: we won’t do a damned thing unless simeone forces us):

“EDDC leader councillor Paul Diviani said: “During the past 48 hours EDDC has received a number of enquiries from concerned local residents as well as the media regarding the Syrian Refugee Crisis, asking how they and the council will be able to help. 
“While we are awaiting more detailed advice from the Government, we would like to express our deep concern about the refugee situation and to confirm that we are keen to assist in any way we can as part of a practical local support network to help refugees resettle successfully.”
