Three Pride flags painted on a pavement outside Forest Gate station are vandalised again.

Pride flags vandalised for the fifth time in north-east London have left residents "traumatised", a local LGBTQ+ organisation says.

"Forest Gayte Pride feels we must not compromise and hide our visibility because a few in the area choose hate over acceptance, love, and community." A spokesperson for Newham Council said the fifth incident had been reported and it was working "closely" with the police. “As a council we are working directly with the LGBTQ+ community to hear their views and identify options to replace or enhance the original flag designs."
