Can you help us trace this man?
The image is not ideal, but we want to speak with him about damage to Pride flags pained outside Forest Gate railway station in June and again on Friday. Please read our appeal 👇

Newham defies hate crime – to those who deface Pride Flags at Forest Gate – you will not win. Our Progress Pride Flag flies high at Stratford and East Ham Town Halls #NoSpaceForHate

If you are in Newham and need to see a police officer, there will be officers on duty outside Forest Gate Police Station over the next few days.
In an emergency call 999, or if it is non urgent call 101.
We are working hard to re-open other front offices.

*** AN UPDATE ON OUR STOLEN PROPERTY ***
After a long walk in the rain, I found our two abandoned cases with all of our flags, banners and T-Shirts! Unfortunately, the case that held all the DJ equipment, lights and smoke machine is now empty. Small victories. #gladtohaveitback
