Community Cohesion report from City Hall, July 2016
There can be little doubt that community cohesion has taken a knock post the Brexit vote, with the increase in hate crime ( see policing and EU sections above) we have experienced in the capital.
Nevertheless there are many events which work to bring people together. I attended, along with Mayor Sadiq Khan, the Ramadan Iftar at Finchley Reform Synagogue organised by the Somali Bravanese community.
I also attended ‘Gefiltefest’ at JW3; the Cyprus business exhibition and wine festival at Alexandra Palace ; the Georgian community event in Boundary Road; Barnet’s Multi Faith Forum; and the consecration of the new St Peter’s Church, Edgware, amongst a number of such events.
