North Yorkshire's Deputy Mayor Jo Coles has responded to the latest Community Safety Trust Antisemitic Incidents Report.
She said:
“I am deeply concerned by the Community Safety Trust’s most recent Antisemitic Incidents Report, which showed a continued rise in antisemitic hate.
"Hate has no place in York and North Yorkshire, and no one should be made to feel unsafe because of their religion or ethnic background.
"At our York interfaith roundtable last year, David Skaith, the Mayor and I agreed with faith leaders on the importance of strengthening community safety through education, prevention and partnership working, in particular through youth engagement.
"We are also in the process of forming a North Yorkshire interfaith group, bringing together community leaders regionwide to ensure all voices are heard, including in our rural areas, and our community engagement team regularly travel across the region making residents aware of how best to report hate crime and seek support.
"We remain committed to delivering on these agreements and standing firmly with all our faith communities against hatred."
