Plans to send three Labour councillors to a peace conference at Coventry's twin city in Russia have been criticised as "wrong" in the wake of the Salisbury nerve agent attack.

The Labour group wants to send deputy leader Councillor Abdul Khan, Councillor John Mutton and Councillor Pervez Akhtar to a conference in Volgograd from 27 October to 2 November.

Labour hopes the event will promote peace and celebrate Coventry's long-standing relationship with Volgograd (pictured), formerly known as Stalingrad.

Next year the cities celebrate the 75th anniversary of their link-up, which marks the devastation they both shared during World War Two.

But Conservatives have called on the ruling Labour group to reject the invitation to attend the conference in light of events in Salisbury, labelling the decision to send three councillors as "ridiculous".

At a cabinet meeting yesterday, Councillor Tim Sawdon said: "I find actually the prospect of a peace meeting conference in Russia at the moment as somewhat of an oxymoron.

"I think this is the sending the wrong signal."

The editor of a newspaper has urged politicians to address "real issues" like knife crime.
