HOLOCAUST MEMORIAL DAY 27th JANUARY 2025

Fishburn Parish Council
will light The Queen Elizabeth II Beacon of Hope with a short reading at 7pm Monday 27th January

This Holocaust Memorial Day (HMD) marks the 80th anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, the largest N**i concentration camp complex, and the 30th anniversary of the genocide in Bosnia.

80 years on from the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau, antisemitism (anti-Jewish hatred) has increased significantly in the UK and globally following the 7 October attacks in Israel by Hamas and the subsequent war in Gaza. Extremists are exploiting the situation to stir up anti-Muslim hatred in the UK.

Many UK communities are feeling vulnerable, with hostility and suspicion of others rising. We hope that HMD 2025 can be an opportunity for people to come together, learn both from and about the past, and take actions to make a better future for all.

THOU SHALT NOT BE A VICTIM, THOU SHALT NOT BE A PERPETRATOR,

BUT ABOVE ALL, THOU SHALT NOT BE A BYSTANDER.

Community speed watch 📹🚓

PC Phil Muir has been out in force once again this afternoon, working to keep our roads safer for the community.🚦🏘️

As requested by the community, today we focused our speed watch in Fishburn .🚨

We are happy to report that of the 100 vehicles checked ✅ 98% of those stuck to the 30mph speed limit.

PC Muir’s advice to those who chose to drive in excess of the specified speed limit is “leave the fast driving to the boys in blue” 🙅‍♂️👮‍♂️.
