Bradford Council leaders have released a statement to residents after the Manchester terror attack.
In a joint statement Bradford Council Leader Cllr Susan Hinchcliffe, the Lord Mayor of Bradford, Cllr Abid Hussain, and Bradford Council Chief Executive, Kersten England, said: "We are aware that a number of people from our district are among the injured and we wish them a swift and full recovery.
"The Union Flag on City Hall has been lowered as a mark of respect, in line with all government buildings across the country.
"The Council will continue to plan and work with all its partners, including West Yorkshire Police, to ensure that the Bradford district remains safe and vigilant in the face of any threat of terrorism."
A statement from the Muslim Women’s Council said: “Emotions will be running high, but it is of utmost importance that we do not give in to the binary of “us” and “them” by associating entire communities with the acts of an individual. As much as we are in turmoil over what has happened, the media, public figures and the wider community must be measured in their responses.
Now is a time not to politicise and stoke the fires of division, but to pray for those who have lost their lives, show solidarity with their families, and display compassion to all, regardless of faith or race.”
