Many of our members live in mixed race or multi-cultural areas. Can anyone tell me if there is any evidence of heightened tensions since the London Bombings? I exclude London and Leeds at this moment. Many commentators are assuming that tension is increasing in our communities, something I have not witnessed either here or when I’ve been in Accrington or Burnley recently. What I mean by this is local acts of violence, vandalism or racial orientated graffiti. I have always found people to be open and welcoming when I’ve been over? Is that changing at all?
