The following statement outlines our position regarding our concerns about the rising tide of allegations and attacks levelled at Mayor Joanne Anderson since her appointment as the first Black female Mayor to be elected in the UK and the first female elected Mayor of the City of Liverpool. These attacks are veiled as being levelled at the mayoral role rather than the person but appear to be quite personal and unwarranted. Please see our statement in full on the link below.
