NEW ST GEORGE'S FLAG POLICY

At a recent meeting of the Leader's Policy Development Board chaired by Cllr Miles Parkinson, it was decided that the St George’s Flag should be flown annually on all public buildings on 23rd April and until nearest Sunday to St George’s Day, when the Scouts hold a service at a church in the Borough.

In addition, it was suggested that the Union Flag be flown on Remembrance Day until Remembrance Sunday. It was noted that there were a number of flagpoles situated in the townships, some of which were funded by area councils and it was suggested that the St George’s and Union Flags be flown on the same occasions.

Arrangements have now been put in place to ensure that these occasions are marked in the same way in the various townships.
