BOSSES at Citizens Advice Bureaux in Kirklees are braced for a rise in racial attacks following the London bombings.

The charity has launched a campaign to remind people that CAB offices are race-hate reporting centres.

The campaign is especially relevant to West Yorkshire, because the bombers who killed more than 50 people in the attacks on London's transport system were from the county.

Northern regional manager Peter Rickard said: "We oppose all forms of discrimination and race equality is a priority for us.

"At a time of significant tension in local communities, when many people feel threatened and unsafe, we want to let people know they can report racist and religiously motivated crimes to us in confidence."

North Kirklees CAB (phone 0870 120 2428) has offices in Batley Town Hall annex, Wakefield Road, Dewsbury, and Church Street, Cleckheaton.

South Kirklees CAB is in St Peter's Street, Huddersfield (phone 0870 126 4851).
