THE Home Office are dispatching two teams of Windrush personnel to Newport this week to hold surgeries for those affected by the Windrush affair.

The teams will attend the Pill Millennium Centre between 9am and 5am on Wednesday, October 24, where they will be helping Newport residents affected by the Windrush affair.

Later that evening, also at the Pill Millennium Centre, the team will provide the audience with a presentation on how to receive compensation for the Windrush community who have been disadvantaged by it.

This meeting will take place between 6pm and 8pm.

There will be local people at the meeting including Jayne Bryant, AM for Newport West.
