Residents have their say on county's flag designs

Almost 200 designs for Cumbria's new community flag have been narrowed down to six, and residents have opinions.

The Lord-Lieutenant and the past High Sheriff of Cumbria launched a competition in March for residents to create the design.

Votes can be submitted online until 13 July and the winning entry will be used to celebrate the region's history, express community pride and increase recognition and awareness of the area.

An official county flag was created in 1974 for use by councils and public buildings, but this community flag would "belong to everyone", organisers said.
