Don't miss your chance to vote.
Now YOU can choose a flag for Elstree & Borehamwood
Flags are an ancient art form that developed especially to allow us to display allegiance and identity. The spring edition of the Town Crier invited you to design a flag which would represent what makes our town so special.
A variety of imaginative entries were received, and last month a panel of judges drawn from across our community selected four designs to be the finalists.
We are very grateful to the members of the judging panel for their work, as well as to Graham Bartram from the Flag Institute for the expert help and guidance he has provided.
Now its your turn to vote for the winning design....
