A statement from Councillor Nadine Peatfield, Leader of Derby City Council on the attacks in Manchester:
On behalf of Derby, we send our heartfelt solidarity to the people of Manchester following today’s shocking attack on a synagogue. Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all those affected. Such acts of hate and violence have no place in any of our communities.
We stand with Manchester in rejecting antisemitism and extremism, and in reaffirming our shared commitment to tolerance and unity.
