It was a pleasure to meet with the new L:eader of Wigan Council, Nazia Rehman.

We have always valued the strong and constructive relationships we have built over many years with elected representatives from across Wigan and we look forward to continuing that positive engagement.

Our discussion focused on the importance of standing together to combat antisemitism and the vital role that effective interfaith dialogue plays in strengthening community cohesion, mutual understanding and respect.

We wish Nazia every success in her new role and look forward to maintaining a close and productive working relationship.
