Kent County Council is introducing the Lord's Prayer and the national anthem at its meetings.
The Reform UK-run local authority voted for each meeting to begin with a recital of the prayer and conclude with the singing of the anthem.
The constitutional amendments were put forward after debate in a council committee earlier in May and backed by Reform, but opposed by many opposition councillors.
In total 48 representatives voted to support the Lord's Prayer proposal and 46 to support the national anthem.
Amendments to instead have a period of reflection prior to meetings instead of the Lord's Prayer, and to have a time gap between the prayer and the meeting's start, both failed…
… A proposal to reduce the time opposition leaders had to respond to leader speeches at full council meetings, from a combined 22 minutes to 17 minutes, was also voted through.
In total 44 voted in favour of that change and 25 voted against it.
