Flying the Flag for the Commonwealth

Councillor Colin Wileman, Mayor of East Staffordshire, will join other Lord Mayors and Mayors, Lord Provosts, town and parish councils, local authorities and local communities in flying the flag for the Commonwealth on Monday 9th March 2020 at 10:00am outside Burton Town Hall.

The Fly a Flag for the Commonwealth initiative is again catching the imagination of thousands of participants from all walks of life, inspiring them to join with others throughout the Commonwealth.

As a collective public expression of commitment to the Commonwealth, it enables participants to show appreciation for the values the Commonwealth upholds, and the opportunities offered for friendship and cooperation with fellow Commonwealth young and old citizens around the world.

Councillor Colin Wileman said: “This ceremony is a fantastic way to link up with other members of the Commonwealth. As Mayor of East Staffordshire Borough Council I’m honoured to play a part in flying the flag for the Commonwealth.”
