Causeway Coast and Glens Borough Council has voted to fly the union flag at seven of its buildings 365 days a year.
The union flag had previously only been permanently flown at two council buildings; the headquarters at Cloonavin and Coleraine Town Hall.
Under the new policy, it will be flown 365 days a year at Ballymoney Town Hall, Riada House and Portrush Town Hall, where it had previously only been flown at certain times. The flag will be flown at Limavady's Council Office and the Roe Valley Arts Centre for the first time in some years."While 83.3% of Protestants who responded maintained that the union flag should fly permanently on Council buildings, only 10.4% of those declaring themselves Roman Catholic felt likewise," it said.
The report said "it was also evident that there is a degree of disquiet among staff as to how both the current and proposed policy may impact on the promotion of a good and harmonious working environment within the council".Of the 177 staff surveyed, 49.4% suggested the proposed policy would have a negative impact.
The council's Deputy Mayor Sinn Féin's Kathleen McGurk tabled an amendment to maintain the council's original policy.Her amendment was voted down by 22 votes to 17.
