The leader of Enfield Council has defended the decision not to fly a Pride flag outside Enfield Civic Centre this month after the decision was branded “a slap in the face to the LGBT community.
In their election manifesto published ahead of last month’s vote, Enfield Conservatives promised to only fly “the Union Flag, the Flag of St George, and the Enfield Beast flag” outside council buildings, which they said was aimed at “restoring a sense of traditional civic pride”.
