7 May 2026On 7 May 2026 Kent County Council's Selection and Member Services Committee considered Recommendation F of the Monitoring Officer's Constitution review — a proposal for the Monitoring Officer to develop a Council flag-flying protocol, with an amendment proposed to place responsibility for flag-flying with the Chairman of the Council instead — and the original proposal was voted on and not carried, so the Committee resolved not to proceed with developing a flag policy at that time; no restrictive flag-flying protocol was adopted and no reference to removing or declining to fly the Pride flag was found in the corpus.
