Statement from leader of Worthing Borough Council, Cllr Sophie Cox

We are shocked and appalled by the violence and extremism that has occurred in the past week across the country since the tragic events in Southport.

Racism, lawlessness and any form of hatred directed to the diversity of our communities have no place in a civilised society and we are united in our condemnation of those who threaten the cohesion and inclusiveness on which our country’s values are built.

We extend our unshakeable support to all our communities.

If you experience or witness any behaviour that is threatening, abusive or targeting minority groups, please contact Sussex Police by calling 101 or reporting online. Similarly, social media content inciting hatred or violence should be reported immediately to the platform provider and the police.

It is vital that we all come together to keep hatred and extremism out of our community."
