    We the undersigned petition the council to We the undersigned petition the council to apply for the correct planning permission to allow the flying of the Intersex-inclusive progressive pride flag (https://tinyurl.com/3j76p4bu) from council flagpoles on key dates for the LGBTQIA+ community. Specifically, we are asking for the Council to ; i) Obtain the required planning permission to fly the flag from its flagpole at the council’s headquarters in St Mary’s Street, Huntingdon and ii) Make it Council policy to fly the flag during LGBTQIA+ History Month (February), Pride Month (June) and on Transgender Day of Remembrance (November 20th) each year.

    Why we are asking the council to do this:
    Huntingdonshire District Council has, in 2026, been flying the progress pride flag at its headquarters during Pride month. However, as Reform councillors have pointed out, this flag is not included in the deemed consent regulations. This means that the Council does not have planning permission to fly the Progress Pride flag, and it has duly been removed. This petition asks the Council to correct this oversight, and to take advantage of the opportunity to upgrade its flag policy to allow it to fly the most up-to-date and inclusive version of the Pride flag, the intersex-inclusive version designed in 2021 by Valentino Vecchietti
    Flying the intersex-inclusive Progress Pride flag will send a powerful message to all LGBTQIA+ people that they are welcome and belong in Huntingdonshire, at a time when they are coming under increasing attack for living as their authentic selves.

    This ePetition runs from 23/07/2026 to 21/10/2026.
