flag Warwickshire Council bans most flags at HQ, keeping only UK, St George’s, and Warwickshire flags, sparking debate over LGBTQ+ visibility and democratic control.

flag Warwickshire County Council has adopted a new flag policy restricting displays at its headquarters to only the Union flag, St George’s Cross, and the Warwickshire standard, with exceptions for military and royal flags. flag The change, approved by the cabinet on September 4 and upheld after a review request was rejected on September 22, transfers authority over flag decisions from the chief executive to chairman Ed Harris. flag The move follows a dispute over the Progress Pride flag, which remains flying during Pride Month despite calls to remove it. flag Opposition councillors criticize the centralization of power in one political appointee, arguing it undermines democratic oversight and LGBTQ+ visibility. flag Supporters say the policy aims to balance representation without favoring any group.
