Joint statement from the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester.

A joint statement from the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Bev Craig and the Deputy Mayor for Safer Stronger Communities, Kate Green. It reads: The charging of two men following the Counter Terror investigation into an alleged plot to target our Jewish community will cause shock, alarm and concern within the community and across Greater Manchester. This is another chilling reminder of the real and sustained threats facing our Jewish communities. We thank Greater Manchester Police (GMP) and their Merseyside counterparts, Counter Terrorism Policing and the security services for their actions. We remain in close contact with GMP, and officers will continue to work closely with community leaders and the Community Security Trust. Visible GMP patrols will provide security and reassurance to help keep our Jewish communities safe.

A joint statement from the Mayor of Greater Manchester, Bev Craig and the Deputy Mayor for Safer Stronger Communities, Kate Green. It reads: This news comes as our Jewish friends and neighbours are celebrating the Shemini Atzeret and Simchat Torah holidays and remembering the evil antisemitic terrorist attack that took place at Heaton Park synagogue exactly 12 months ago. As Mayor and Deputy Mayor, we will continue to do everything within our power to keep people safe and to challenge hatred. We are actively engaging with the Home Office and will be speaking to Ministers about wider action to stamp out the poison of antisemitism in our city region. Counter Terrorism Policing do not believe there is any ongoing threat to the public related to this alleged plot. But we urge all residents to remain vigilant and to come together to show that hate will never win. In Greater Manchester we are at our best when our communities look out for each other and stand together.

Joint statement from the Mayor and Deputy Mayor of Greater Manchester on the recent arrest of two terror suspects in Manchester.

“I and the Deputy Mayor have been receiving ongoing briefings and updates, and we are in regular contact with the leadership of Greater Manchester Police. “We thank them and Counter Terror Police for the action they’ve taken and we have been assured that the current threat has been mitigated. “I know this will send a chill down the spine amongst Jewish communities in Greater Manchester, one year on from the evil antisemitic terrorist attack that took place on Yom Kippur, and at the holiest time in the calendar. “As Mayor and Deputy Mayor, we will do everything within our power to keep people safe, to challenge hatred, and to stamp out the poison of antisemitism in our city region. “Officers will be stepping up visible patrols to provide security and reassurance and to engage with members of the public.”
