St Albans couple forced to leave Ukrainian refugees due to visa delays

A couple who had to leave three refugees in France after visa delays have called the Homes for Ukraine scheme "disjointed and slow".

Graham and Angela Coton, of St Albans, Herts, hoped to take a mother and her two children to their UK sponsor family after delivering aid to Poland.

But on Monday, the family were refused passage to the UK in Calais due to a delay in the vetting of their sponsor.

The government said it was "moving as quickly as possible".

Its Homes for Ukraine scheme allows UK nationals to individually sponsor a Ukrainian national's visa so that those without family connections can still come to live with a host family in the UK.

The couple delivered humanitarian aid to Lublin in Poland on Saturday and wanted to take the 35-year-old mother and her two children, aged 14 and seven, to a family in Norbury, south London, on their return.
