Police have moved to reassure residents after some addresses in parts of South Lancaster received discriminatory leaflets posted through their door.
Moorlands and other areas of the city were targeted, prompting police to issue a statement.
A spokesperson said: ‘’We are aware of a number of inflammatory leaflets that have been posted to houses.
‘’Lancaster and Morecambe's Neighbourhood Policing Team are looking into the matter and would like to reassure all residents across the area, from every background and ethnicity, that we take reports of racism and far-right activity very seriously.
‘’This is a tolerant and welcoming city and we want it to remain that way. If anyone has any concerns about the leaflets or any information they would like to share with the Police, please ring 101 or email Lancaster.NPT@lancashire.pnn.police.uk, quoting log LC-20220424-0759.’’
Local resident, Josh Brandwood, told Beyond Radio that such messaging wasn’t welcome in Lancaster.
“As Lancaster resident with a biracial family, I am incredibly disheartened to see such a hateful and divisive leaflet posted to residents in the area,’’ he said.
‘’Lancaster is and always will be are an inclusive and welcoming community and such inflammatory messages are not welcome.
‘’I am pleased to see Lancaster Police are taking this matter seriously. Likewise, it is great to see members of our community pull together to condemn such hate.”
The leaflet claims to be from a company calling themselves Patriotic Alternative, based in Leeds.
