anti-migrant sentiment
Sutton Council is seeking resources to combat anti-migrant sentiment and promote community cohesion.
In November 2025, Sutton Council resolved to write to the Home Secretary, urging the provision of support and resources for local authorities to build community cohesion and oppose anti-migrant sentiment. This action followed concerns about rising extremism and hostility, including Islamophobia and antisemitism, as stated in a motion proposed by Councillor Barry Lewis.
The council's resolution, seconded by Councillor Sam Martin, seeks to address negative feelings, attitudes, or beliefs directed towards migrants. No further council discussions or decisions on anti-migrant sentiment are currently scheduled across the councils.
