Flags on council buildings in 2019
There are three masts from which we fly flags:
- Above main entrance of the Town Hall - exclusively used to fly the City flag
- Carfax Tower - Union flag on set occasions and Cross of St George on St George’s Day
- Above 1930s extension of Town Hall - for other occasions
