Kent to turn away lone child migrants due to "extreme pressure"

Kent County Council has refused to accept any new unaccompanied children arriving on its shores, because it says its services are getting overwhelmed.

It believes the ΒιΆΉΤΌΕΔ Office has reneged on its promise to spread the numbers of new arrivals across the country.
