“On behalf of Westmorland and Furness, we send our heartfelt sympathies to the people of Manchester and all those who have suffered following yesterday’s shocking attack on a synagogue.
“Our thoughts are with the Jewish community and all those affected. Such acts of hate and violence have no place in any of our communities.
“We want to reaffirm our shared commitment to tolerance and unity and will work to ensure all our local communities feel safe and supported at this time.’’
