MINEHEAD Town Council this week showed its support for the Ukrainian people with a display of yellow and blue bunting in Wellington Square.

“This is a symbolic gesture of solidarity and sympathy towards the Ukrainians who are going through this terrible ordeal,” said Minehead mayor Cllr Paul Bolton. “We admire the enormous courage of the people who, rather than running away, are trying to fight back. We want to do a lot more and many people in the town are already organising financial and other help.

“It goes without saying that the council will do everything it can to support these efforts.”Photos: George Ody
