Labour Councillor for Windhill and Wrose Susan Hinchcliffe has called for the Windhill community to unite in the wake of this week's stabbings.
Coun Hinchcliffe, who is the Council's Executive Member for Employment, Skills and Culture, praised the people of Windhill saying: "It's a great place to live. People know and generally help each other. There is a real community spirit there. Undoubtledy this kind of event is whan that is really needed."
She says the best way to move on from the weekend's events, which left 84-year-old Louisa Denby dead and a 9-year-old boy in hospital, is to get back to normal life as soon as possible.
"We need to go about our business, making sure children get to school and people go to work. That's already started happeneing. After the initial shock people have their lives to lead and they get on doing that."
"Normality is the best antidote to something like this. It will have lasting consequences for a few families and they are in our hearts and minds at the minute."
A 26-year-old man has been arrested on suspicion of murder and attempted murder relating to the incidents and remains in police custody.
