Mayor Woodley: Hackney stands with its communities following Bondi Beach attack
Now more than ever Hackney stands with its communities. We will always remain no place for hate.
“I am shocked to hear of the deadly attack in Australia and am thinking of everyone affected there and also here in Hackney. This terrible event, coming as Jewish communities gather to mark Hanukkah, must strengthen our resolve and make us more determined than ever to ensure people can celebrate faith in safety.
“Our local police and partners will carry out extra patrols in Hackney, and we will together engage with our Jewish communities to understand what further help and reassurance we can offer.
“Now more than ever Hackney stands with its communities. We will always remain no place for hate.”
Caroline Woodley, Mayor of Hackney
