2 There are a number of Asylum Seekers now living in Rossendale. They are initially provided with temporary accommodation through a Government scheme, but once they are granted the 'right to remain', they must find their own housing. Caritas (Diocese of Salford) is working with Asylum Seekers and Refugees in the area and would like to know of any private landlords who are willing to provide accommodation at the current rental market value.
