Statement from Epsom & Ewell Borough Council

Date: 

Wednesday, 15 October, 2025

We are proud of Epsom & Ewell’s communities and believe that our diversity makes us stronger. 

Graffiti on our cultural buildings, streets and roundabouts is not a sign of pride—it’s a criminal act.

We all have a duty to call out racism and hatred whenever we see it. Epsom & Ewell Borough Council stands united against racism and hatred, and we will always do everything in our power to fight it.

Let us stand together as a community, to ensure that Epsom & Ewell remains a tolerant, inclusive, and welcoming borough.

On behalf of Councillor Hannah Dalton, Leader of the Council; Councillor Kate Chinn, Leader of Labour Group; Councillor James Lawrence, Leader of Liberal Democrat Group; Councillor Alex Coley, Leader of Independents Group; Councillor Bernie Muir, Leader of Conservative Group; and Jackie King, Chief Executive of Epsom & Ewell Borough Council.
