London’s only Reform council cancelled their Pride flag ceremony, leaving the borough ‘no longer feeling like home’ for their residents.

Havering Council announced the event would not go ahead with just three days notice on Friday.

This is despite the flag ceremony happening every year at the start of Pride Month in June since 2016.

Carrie Kendall, who has lived in the borough all of her life, said Havering ‘no longer feels like home’.

She said: ‘I always noticed when the pride flag went up as early as 2016 and it made me happy, because visibility is so important.

‘Now I am worried the council’s actions will lead people to think homophobia is permissible.’
