IN Warrington we celebrate both the diversity and unity of our communities.

We are very proud to live in a tolerant and multi-cultural borough and have a long tradition of welcoming people from a wide variety of countries.

We will continue to welcome people of all faiths, ethnicities and nationalities and anyone arriving here will be sure of a friendly Warrington welcome.

We are conscious that, nationally, there have been heightened tensions recently so if anyone has been a victim of a hate crime, or witnesses a hate crime, please contact Cheshire Police on 101.

Alternatively, you can call Crimestoppers anonymously on 0800 555111.

CLLR TERRY O’NEILL, CLLR BOB BARR AND CLLR SHEILA WOODYATT On behalf of members of Warrington Borough Council
