Alongside its main flagpole at The Arncliffe Centre, Halewood Town Council has installed a second pole for the occasional flying of other flags of significance.
On Monday 3rd June, it will be used again.
The Progress Flag will be proudly flying over the centre throughout June, as the council marks the annual ‘Pride’ month. LGBTQ+ Pride Month commemorates the Stonewall riots, which began on 28 June 1969. As a result, many Pride events are held during the month of June to recognise the impact LGBTQ+ people have had in the world.
Mayor of the Council, Iain Hamilton, comments: “We are proud to stand side-by-side with our LGBTQ+ community and provide reassurance that regardless of your sexuality, gender, age or ethnicity, Halewood should be a safe space for everyone – we are one township, one community”. Cllr Hamilton will represent the Council at the raising of the flag on Monday
A small ceremony will be held at 10am, any members of our community who wish to attend will be very welcome.
