Cllr Fida Hussain, Mayor
Oldham Metropolitan Borough
Mayor’s Office
Civic Centre, West St
Oldham OL1 1UJ

In light of the appalling acts carried out over the last few days in Paris, I would like to ask you as our Mayor to convey as a matter of urgency by email and in writing to the Mayor of Paris, Anne Hidalgo, the horror and revulsion felt by the elected Members and citizens of the Borough of Oldham, and to assure the Mayor of Paris and the people of France that we stand shoulder to shoulder with her and with them in defending liberty, democracy and the right to free expression.

With thanks for your consideration in this regard.

Yours sincerely

Howard Sykes
