EPPING Forest District Council has condemned the “cowardly” London terror attack.

Dozens of people were injured and seven were killed after three attackers drove a van into people on London Bridge, before getting out stabbing people in Borough Market on Saturday, June 3.

The attack comes only a week after children were targeted at a concert in Manchester.

Council chairman, Dave Stallan, said: “So much has happened. This weekend we have seen the best and the worst of human nature. We witnessed another cowardly attack by a few deluded individuals but we also saw the best as people came to each other’s aid with immense bravery and compassion.”

“That was followed by the concert on Sunday where the whole nation came together for Manchester and London in the best possible way. We stand together and we reject the messages of hate.”

The district council will take part in a one minute silence tomorrow (Tuesday, June 6) at 11am.

Council leader Chris Whitbread said: “Only a few short days ago, I spoke of our debt and gratitude to the emergency services in Manchester.”

“It has become clear that without the bravery and professionalism in particular of our police, the events of Saturday in London could have been so much worse. At times like this we put aside our small arguments and remember we are a great country. We will not be defeated.”
