Southport MP says city won’t be defined by atrocity one year on from attack

Police monitor social media for attempts to stir up disorder as town pays tribute to three girls murdered last year

Southport must not be defined by the atrocity at a Taylor Swift-themed holiday club last summer, its leaders have said, a year on from the murders.

The Merseyside town will hold a three-minute silence and lower flags on public buildings on Tuesday in tribute to those caught up in the attack on 29 July last year.
