    Replying to @Nigel_Farage
    Thanks Nigel for flagging how diverse our Borough is, something we are very proud of. By the way, we did have the St George cross flying on St George's Day in April.
    We are flying the English flag today at both Borough Hall and the Old Town Hall to celebrate St George’s Day.
