Farnworth vandalism

Farnworth Councillors, Peter Murray, Phil Drakeley and Phil Balmer, and I have sent the following letter to the local newspapers in Halton:

“We are disgusted at the recent vandalism at Farnworth Church.

The damage done to gravestones and benches, which have great sentimental value to local people is disgraceful. We appeal to anyone with information about this to contact the local police and offer your help. As a community we must send out the strongest possible signal that this sort of behaviour is totally unacceptable; that includes the families and friends of those responsible.

This sort of behaviour has to stop.”
