A Labour-controlled council is facing legal action from outraged Christians over pedestrian crossings painted in the colours of the transgender-friendly Pride flag.
Four crossings were installed in upmarket Bloomsbury, central London, by Camden Council in 2021 to 'support the LGBTQ+ community' and 'reflect the fabric of the public realm'.
But opponents claim the crossings - which cost taxpayers £10,464 - constitute unlawful political messaging and make Christians feel 'excluded' and 'marginalised'.
The legal challenge invokes the Local Government Act 1986, which bars councils from publishing material that 'promotes a political party or a politically controversial viewpoint'.
The crossings - painted white, pink, and blue to represent the trans community - are situated between Tavistock Place and Marchmont Street.
