Design and symbolism

A white-edged red cross is placed on green. At the centre, a white shield carries a green silhouette of an archer.

History and use

The archer represents Robin Hood and follows James Woodford’s statue. The registered design combines elements submitted to a BBC Radio Nottingham competition. Its straightforward geometry and central figure make it a modern community flag rooted in a well-known cultural association.
