Reform UK-led Warwickshire County Council has removed its chief executive’s flag-flying powers.
In July, Warwickshire CC's chief executive Monica Fogarty refused a request from council leader George Finch to remove a Pride flag from County Hall.
The head of Reform's Department of Government Efficiency (DOGE), Zia Yusuf, described the move as ‘extraordinary', adding she was ‘not the monarch of Warwickshire'.
The council's cabinet has now voted to empower council chairman, Reform councillor Edward Harris, to make decisions over what flags are flown from County Hall.
