I am writing to make a request for the information to which I am entitled under Freedom of Information Act 2000. My requests are outlined below as specifically as possible but do let me know if anything is unclear. Please could you provide the following information:
1) Will Lincolnshire council be participating in the Afghanistan Resettlement programmes ARAP + ACRS and if so, how many individuals/families will you be taking on?
2) If you are not participating in the Afghanistan Resettlement programmes ARAP + ACRS, can you explain why?
3) What was Lincolnshire council's response to the Syrian Resettlement programme (VPRS)?

Lincolnshire County Council has been supporting resettlement schemes when required by Government, together with our district council partners. We work closely with the seven District Councils as part of the Lincolnshire Resettlement Partnership. This is convened and led by North Kesteven District Council. As housing is a District Council function. Decisions on participating in resettlement programmes sit with District Councils. Should they agree to offer accommodation, they liaise with the County Council in relation to other support services such as school places availability.
I would suggest contacting North Kesteven District Council at
LincsResettlementPartnership@n-kesteven.gov.uk to respond to this request.
