It was moved by Councillor Robertson, seconded by Councillor Brodie-Browne and unanimously
RESOLVED: That
This Council sends its congratulations to Lancashire County Cricket Club on winning outright the County Championship for the first time in 77 years.
We note with pleasure that County Cricket returned to Southport this summer. We also congratulate the Southport and Birkdale Cricket Club who were excellent hosts and note they attracted record crowds for a Championship Match.
To honour this success the Council resolves that the Lancashire flag should be flown from Bootle and Southport Town Halls, along with other towns in the area.
