Lizzie Bishop asked the Leader of the Council the following question:
Question
Councillor Halsall, you kindly committed last year that you would support an LGBT Pride event in Wokingham in 2020, and you reaffirmed that commitment in the last full council meeting. When the rainbow flag was flown last year, many residents and businesses in the town centre responded with enthusiasm, and with their own gestures of support. We are hoping to build on this for 2020. We are hoping that this Wokingham Pride week will build greater mutual understanding, respect for differences, and friendship between residents.
I am aware that no Council funding is available, but in the spirit of building understanding, respect and friendship, could you please tell us what support the Council will be giving to Wokingham Pride in 2020?
