Harrogate Borough Council, along with the county’s six other district councils, would each be allocated an approximate number of people to house. From 2016 to 2018, Harrogate accepted 54 Syrian refugees fleeing conflict in their own country as part of another county-wide resettlement program of approximately 200 people. She said the majority of refugees Harrogate has received in recent years were from Syria, and had ended up in North Yorkshire after fleeing conflict in their home country. The proposed allocation would see an estimated 52 people resettled in Harrogate, the most populous district in the county, between 2020/21 and 2023/24.
