A BANNER calling for connection,  tolerance and community was hung from a bridge in Penarth today (January 20)

The banner reading "Build bridges not walls" was hung over Pont y Werin bridge at 1.30pm following a procession through Penarth Marina. 

The banner was created by Penarth Under 5s parent and child group along with the help of children from the town.

The banner was created as a response to what organisers see as a rise in populism and divisive rhetoric. 

One resident who joined the procession said he joined it to make a stand and anything that brings people together to meet and feel they are not alone is a good thing.
