The flag of England will now fly outside Sunderland City Hall 365 days a year. St George's flag is our national flag. It represents our country, our history, and the people Sunderland City Council serves. Cllr Ciera Hudspith, Portfolio Holder for Culture, Tourism and Heritage, said: “Any flag flown outside a governing body should represent our nation and our country as a whole, not a sectional interest. Time and time again on the doorstep, residents told us they were confused as to why England’s flag was not flying outside City Hall all year round. Today, it is an honour and a privilege to raise the flag of St George at the heart of our great city.” The council’s flagpoles will be reserved for national and civic flags that represent our country, heritage and wider community as a whole. For that reason, the Pride flag will never be flown outside City Hall.
