Question
What plans does the Commission have to celebrate and promote Monmouthshire Day on 25 September, including flying its historic county flag outside the Senedd?
Answer
Answered by Senedd Commission
The Commission has no specific plans to mark Monmouthshire Day. However, through its programme of public engagement and outreach activities, the Senedd regularly seeks opportunities to connect with communities throughout Wales and to promote awareness of the work of the Senedd.
As part of this commitment, the Commission will be attending the Abergavenny Food Festival in September. This visit builds on the success of the Senedd's events and outreach programme, through which we aim to engage with communities in all Senedd constituencies across Wales as part of our programme of work. Members are also very welcome to engage with officials to examine options for Member sponsored activity to promote their communities.
In relation to the flying of flags, there is no intention to deviate from the Senedd flag-flying protocol which sets out the occasions on which flags are flown on the Senedd estate.
The Commission remains committed to celebrating and showcasing the diversity of Wales's communities through its engagement activities and outreach work across the country.
