Witney's flag
2:55pm Monday 12th May 2008
A NEW flag has been hoisted above Witney's town hall.
It carries the motif of the town's coat of arms, a lamb and flag, and will be flown on special days marking events in the local calendar.
Ex-town mayor Chrissie Curry has invited suggestions from residents about special days, and ones already put forward include May Day dancing on Church Green, a Witney feast, Witney Carnival, and the switching on of the town's Christmas Lights.
It is the first time a dedicated Witney flag, paid for by an anonymous sponsor, has been hoisted. The Union Jack and St George's flags will still be flown.
