The City Executive Board (now Cabinet) delegated responsibility to the Head of Law and Governance on 13 March 2019 for the operation of the Flag Flying Protocol, including the arrangements for considering one-off requests and for holding and maintaining the List of Annual Flag Flying Commitments and the List of Annual Bell Ringing Commitments.

The Head of Law and Governance delegated responsibility to deal with any Flag Flying responsibilities in accordance with the Flag Flying Protocol to the Committee and Member Services Manager.

To fly the Windrush Flag from the 1930s extension flagpole from 22-25 June 2023.

To mark the 75^th anniversary of the arrival of passengers on HMT Empire Windrush at Tilbury Docks in Essex.

Not to fly the Windrush Flag from the 1930s extension flagpole. This option was rejected due to the importance of marking the 75^th anniversary of the arrival of passengers – the flying of the flag coincides with a weekend of activity to mark the occasion.

Decision taken by Alice Courtney, Committee and Member Services Manager (Interim Acting) in consultation with Councillor Susan Brown, Leader of the Council.
