Looking back, looking forward
Two years have now passed since the devastating attack at Manchester Arena which changed people’s lives forever. The pain of losing loved ones is being felt across the world with further horrific attacks, recently on churches and hotels in Sri Lanka and on a mosque in New Zealand.
Such hatred achieves nothing and hate crime or hateful speech has no place in civilised society. Our thoughts are always with those affected and we stand in solidarity against those who seek to destroy our way of life.
If you are a victim of or witness any hate crime, please don’t shrug it off or feel powerless. There are numerous places around Salford where you can report it and receive help and support. Please see www.salford.gov.uk/hatecrime
Paul Dennett, City Mayor of Salford
