Riots in Langworthy ward

I am appalled by the behaviour of the groups of youths involved in the riots in the Pendleton and Seedley areas of Salford last night. These youths have shown they have no respect for their community whatsoever.

It is good to hear that tough action will be taken against the perpetrators of these crimes.

Today it has been heartwarming to see that there are residents who want to show their respect and pride in Salford by helping to clear up the damage. They have been out and about with Cllr Warmisham and myself plus councillors from other wards and senior council officers and partners such as Salix Homes and SALT.

I would like to thank everyone who turned out in Langworthy ward today for all their hard work and support.
