Race relations

Our significant and growing ethnic minority population - 4,500 at the last census - contains a wealth of diversity with over 60 first languages spoken. We value the contribution to the economic, social and cultural life of our city that such diverse and ethnically dynamic communities bring.

We are determined to exercise the Council’s community leadership role in relation to all our communities regardless of their ethnic or cultural background. This can only be achieved through our on-going work in partnership with the public, private, community and voluntary sectors. We welcome the opportunity to forge new links with minority ethnic communities as we strive to improve service, widen inclusion and eradicate racism in all aspects of our work.
