Bedford will continue to live up to its reputation of welcoming people fleeing war.

That's according to the Mayor, who's said the town is 'ready and willing' to welcome Ukrainian refugees.

Mayor Dave Hodgson MBE said:

"The situation in Ukraine is appalling and the people of that proud country are suffering untold hardship. I am though proud of Bedford Borough’s long standing reputation of supporting people fleeing conflicts around the world. Once again our local communities are stepping up to support people in this terrible situation. We look forward to welcoming and supporting Ukrainians who arrive in our Borough."

The Borough Council has set up a special web page to explain how residents can help.
