A statement from the Mayor of Aylesbury

My thoughts and best wishes are with the residents of our Town who have relatives and friends in Ukraine. Nationals of both Ukraine and Russia have made homes in our town, and we should all come together to support the victims of war. Both the leader of our Council, Cllr Richard Lloyd, and I have travelled in Ukraine and are deeply saddened by the attack on the Country but residents of our town cannot, and should not, be held accountable for the actions of the Russian Government. On behalf of all Town Councillors and Council Staff, I would like to express our thoughts and prayers are with Ukraine and its people.
