Councillors’ update: recent reports of stalking

The Whalley Range councillors are aware of recent reports in the media that a woman who lives in the ward has been troubled by a male stalker.

They provided this statement: \”Stalking is a devastating and a particularly distressing crime that creates fear and unrest for the victim as well as their loved ones. We had been made aware of this particular issue previously and raised it with the police – it is just not acceptable and should not be tolerated in Whalley Range. We would urge anyone who is a victim of stalking, or who has concerns regarding someone being stalked, to contact police immediately. In the meantime we will remain in dialogue with GMP about the problem\”.
