More than 500 Ukrainian refugees are expected to come to the Bristol region, the local authorities have said.
Last month, the city's mayor said that a total of 150 Ukrainian refugees are expected to come to Bristol, with some having already arrived. No updated figures have been released by the council since, but the council said today (April 12) that 270 hosts in Bristol have signed up for the Homes for Ukraine scheme.
South Gloucestershire Council - who originally said it was expecting 151 refugees - has now said that 198 refugees are expected in the area, with a very small number having already arrived. North Somerset Council has said it is anticipating more than 160 adults and children to arrive in the area via the Homes for Ukraine scheme after 60 households signed up as hosts.
