Clackmannanshire Welcomes Syrian Refugees' Business to the High Street
The motion
That the Parliament welcomes the opening on Alloa High Street of Alloa Barbers, which it understands is the first new business venture in the Forth Valley by refugees from Syria; congratulates the two owners, Mohamad Alwan and Neehad Othman, on their hard work, dedication and commitment to seeing their business being established since arriving in Scotland a year and a half ago; recognises the challenges that they have overcome, such as learning English and settling into a new culture and country, all with the support of Clackmannanshire Council and the wider community; understands that they have received an overwhelmingly positive response from Clackmannanshire residents, and wishes them, their business and their families continued success in the future.
