📢 Fenland Flag raised in South Holland! 🌿🚜 Yesterday, the Chairman of South Holland District Council, Cllr Andrew Woolf, alongside James Bowman from Ely, Leader Councillor Nick Worth, and Councillor Laura Eldridge, proudly raised the Fenland Flag to celebrate our region’s rich heritage and strong community spirit. The Fenland Flag is deeply rooted in local history. The symbol of the Fens is the Fen Tiger, a name that originates from the fierce resistance of the local population to the drainage schemes of the 17th century. Now that fierce community resistance is aimed at the mass of proposed solar farms and pylons, so the Fens Tiger tradition continues into the 21st century, working across County borders. Even today, ‘Fen Tiger’ remains a proud nickname for people from the Fens, with many businesses and associations using the term and tiger imagery in their branding. The flag’s design reflects the region’s identity: 🟡 The ‘central yellow field’ represents agricultural prosperity. 🔵 The ‘blue outer fields’ symbolize the Fens’ vast natural and manmade waterways. 🐯 The ‘heraldic tiger’ at its heart embodies the resilience and pride of Fenland communities. A big thank you to everyone who joined us to mark this special occasion!
