Changes to civic and council-run meetings and events

The meeting of the full council, due to take place on Monday 19 September, has been postponed.
Changes to meetings and events are made based on the advice and protocols provided by government.
Town Hall flag
Government guidance states that the Union Flag should be flown at half-mast until 8am on the day after the State Funeral. This is except for the time between the start of the Principle Proclamation in London, to the end of the Proclamation in Cardiff, when flags are to be at full mast.
The Town Hall flag will go to full mast from 11am on Saturday 10 September until the afternoon on Sunday 11 September. Following Warrington's Proclamation at 3pm on Sunday 11 September, it will be returned to half mast for the duration of the mourning period.
