A Hillsborough campaigner said she doesn't accept police apologies following the publication of a report where senior officers admitted "profoundly failing" the families.
Lou Brookes, whose brother Andrew was one of the 97 victims of the tragedy, told the ECHO she did not accept the apologies as they were just "promises on a piece of paper". Leaders from the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs' Council appeared before the media this morning, Tuesday, January 31 to "apologise on behalf of policing" for failures regarding the disaster at the Sheffield Wednesday ground in April 1989.
Chief Constable Andy Marsh, College of Policing CEO, and Martin Hewitt, National Police Chiefs' Council Chair (NPCC), said: "Ninety-seven men, women and children were unlawfully killed. Police failures were the main cause of the tragedy and police failures have continued to blight the lives of family members ever since."
