Balcony Flagpole Reinstated at Bognor Regis Town Hall

Published: 30 September 2025

Those of you who have visited or driven past the Town Hall recently, may have noticed the Union Flag has now returned to its rightful place on the Principal Flagpole of the Town Hall balcony. Town Councillors discussed the importance of the flag flying from the preferred position on a government building, at a Council Meeting in September 2024, and having stated their case to Arun District Council, as building owners, were delighted to see it finally return a few months ago.

To mark this important occasion, a short Rededication Service was held last week, at which we were joined by the Chair of Arun, Town Councillor’s, my Mayor’s Cadet, Town Crier, Veterans and other invited guests. We are sure this is an addition that will be very welcomed by residents of Bognor Regis as well of course by the Veterans, Cadets and Services Associations, to whom this flag is dedicated, and which acts as a symbol of our continued commitment to thank and honour those serving past and present, who have suffered physically or mentally, or even both, as a result of their bravery.
