Flag-flying at the Millennium Garden
Last month, on the 10th December, the Chipping Norton Amnesty Group and Chipping Norton Town Council flew the flag for Human Rights Day.
This flag marks the day the United Nations General Assembly adopted and proclaimed the Universal Declaration of Human Rights. In 2025 we celebrated its 77th anniversary.
Next month we will be flying the Girl Guide and Scout flags.
