The message from Southport residents is clear - mourning should be the town's key focus
Friday, 2 August 2024 As carpets are unfurled outside the Southport mosque ahead of Friday prayers, the chairman there has this message for violent protesters: "You have hijacked the grief."
The Government has pledged £5 million for a renovation project in memory of the three young girls murdered in Southport. Sir Keir Starmer and Angela Rayner met the parents of Elsie Dot Stancombe, Alice da Silva Aguiar and Bebe King in Downing Street on Tuesday. The Town Hall gardens in Southport will be renovated in their memory, a project the families have said is “rooted in love, resilience and unity”. Report by Covellm.
