Together we are stronger

"I’m asking all our communities and residents to keep pulling together. And to continue supporting each other with love, kindness and respect. 
 
"I see the way so many of you care for your communities, families, your friends and neighbours. This is what you do on a daily basis. And something this district can be very proud of.
 

"The unrest we’ve seen across the country this weekend is appalling. The violence is senseless, and the division doesn’t help anyone. 
 
"Our district respects the right to free speech. And we also respect the law. We choose to work together to address the challenges that our people and communities face. We do not choose hate and violence. 
 
"We are stronger together. My heartfelt thanks for your continued kindness and support for each other and our communities."
 
Cllr Denise Jeffery, Leader of Wakefield Council
