“I condemn those who have scrawled these repellent messages. When it comes to the poison of racism, we must all unite and face it down.

“I cannot grasp the mindset of those who deem it acceptable to even have those views, never mind graffiti them in public.

“The Council is working to remove this urgently and I call on anyone with any information to give it to police immediately.”
