A Sinn Fein bid to light up Craigavon Civic Centre to mark Pride Day has failed to get unionist backing on Armagh, Banbridge and Craigavon Council.

SF Cllr Liam Mackle described it as ‘disappointing but not surprising’ that the UUP or DUP voted against the motion to light up the building in the Rainbow Flag on Pride Day and taking part in Belfast Pride.

He said: “We have a diverse community and the onus is on us to ensure we not only represent minority groups such as our LGBT community but that we make them feel valued, included, welcome and safe in our Borough.
