A community leader has condemned the actions of vandals after a Ukrainian solidarity display in Hindley was set alight last night.

The Morris Street display saw two Ukrainian flags burnt in an act of vandalism dubbed as ‘disappointing’. Hindley councillors Paul Blay and James Talbot were called to the scene in the early hours of April 29 after the damage was done overnight.

This was the first incident in six years at the display site. “Unfortunately we got the call this morning to say that the two flags had been burnt,” Coun Paul Blay said. Read more:The top five noisiest places in Salford revealed “We have had to remove the flags and the poles from the display.
