In recent weeks, we have seen violent riots spread across the country, organised by racist extremists whose only aim is to spread fear, division and chaos. This is a potent reminder of the racism, Islamophobia and hatred which exists in parts of our society, and which is experienced daily in the lives of so many people who live in Tredworth.
We strongly condemn these riots, and we stand in friendship with all those affected by them. We are proud to live in a strong and diverse community, where everybody can be accepted for who they are. We value and celebrate the differences between us, and our children should be able to play safely and build friendships together whatever their background and ethnicity.
We have seen lots of outstanding examples of residents standing together and helping each other, in this neighbourhood and across the country. This is the strength and power of a local community, and something that Tredworth Residents Association proudly believes in.
