HELMDON PARISH COUNCIL
FLAG POLICY
1. The Council owns a flag pole on the war memorial green.
2. The Council may at any time and at its sole discretion decide on the use of the flag pole and the flags it flies within the constraints of this policy.
3. At the Annual Meeting of the Parish Council in May, a volunteer Flag Master and Deputy Flag
Master will be appointed. The primary duty of the Flag Master will be to oversee the safe operation of the flag pole (including proper maintenance), to fly flags according to the Annual
Flag Plan, to manage the quality and condition of the flags and to liaise with parish residents and bring any issues concerning the flags to the Chairman and Council.
4. In the absence of the Flag Master, the Deputy Flag Master may do anything the Flag Master may do.
5. The Union Flag will be flown at half-mast 1 at the following times:
a. From the announcement of the death until the funeral of the Sovereign, except on
Proclamation Day when flags are flown at full-mast following the proclamation.
b. From the announcement of the death until the funeral of a member of the Royal Family styled ‘Royal Highness’, subject to special commands from the Sovereign in each case.
c. On the day of the announcement of the death and on the day of the funeral of other members of the Royal Family, subject to special commands from the Sovereign in each case .
6. The Union Flag will be flown at half-mast at times of national mourning or at times of disaster which, in the opinion of the Chairman of the Council and Flag Master, merit this.
7. Flags will not be flown during severe weather e.g. (predicted winds in excess of 45mph).
8. Flags may only be hoisted by persons authorised by the Council.
9. Flags will be kept at the home of the Flag Master (or Deputy Flag Master). Keys to the flag pole will be held by the Flag Master, Deputy Flag Master, Chairman of the Council and Clerk to the Council.
10. All flag-flying will comply with the national rules and regulations in force, without exception. 2
11. This policy will be reviewed on an annual basis.
1 Half-mast means the flag is flown two-thirds of the way up the flagpole, with at least the height of the flag between the top of the flag and the top of the flagpole. When a flag is to be flown at half-mast, it should first be raised all the way to the top of the mast, allowed to remain there for a second and then be lowered to the half-mast position. When it is being lowered from half-mast, it should again be raised to the top of the mast for a second before being fully lowered.
