ALT Statement from the Leader of Trafford Council, Cllr Tom Ross. “These comments are wrong and they need to be withdrawn. Trafford has a proud history of being a welcoming, tolerant and diverse borough. People have always come here for opportunity, safety and community. We embrace and celebrate that reputation. People from many different backgrounds also work with the Council and our partners to help us deliver vital services for everyone in Trafford including in our care homes and schools. Manchester United draws fans and players from across the world and they too play an important role in the life of our borough. We need everyone to continue to work together to make sure we remain a welcoming borough for everyone who lives, works and visits Trafford.”
