The Leader of Havering Council has condemned today's (Thursday 2 October 2025) attack outside the Heaton Park Synagogue in Manchester.
Councillor Ray Morgon, Leader of Havering Council, said:
“The attack against the Jewish community in Manchester is both shocking and terrible, even more so because it is a very significant day in the Jewish calendar.
"My thoughts are with those who have been impacted by this awful event.
"No community should be subject to such a tragic event, and this council stands in solidarity with all those from the Jewish faith within Havering.
"We will continue our work to do all that we can to ensure that Havering remains a calm and cohesive borough.
“This kind of appalling attack has no place in any community, and we hope the police and security service bring those responsible to justice.”
