up in the left there's two flag; TT state flag and a vertical V-W-V (about
2:3:2) that must be the Tunapuna civic flag. Seal, great size, in the white
part.

Possibly the flag of the Tunapuna-Piarco Regional Corporation?
Wikipedia article is at <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tunapuna-Piarco_Regional_Corporation>,
but shows no flag, unfortunately.
James Dignan, 26 June 2010
I would go rather for the Tunapuna-Piarco Regional Corporation, which is the
local local government body. Probably the same
emblem is online at the
official website (on page <
http://www.localgov.gov.tt/TUP/tup.htm >, at least). Flag image made of using Jaume’s suggested specs and 1:2 ratio based on the
apparent geometry of the flag as shown on the photo.
The emblem is seal-like, round, in green/white monochrome. On a thick
green rim the lettering «Tunapuna / Piarco», above, and «Regional
Corporation», below, separated by white round bullets and set in bold
white sans-serif capitals. Inside the rim, on white background, a map of
the region is outlined, containing representations of the Piarco airport
(POS/TTPP), a U.W.I. classroom, and a sign reading "Mount Hope".
Please note that a (poorly designed) table of related info online at
Wikipedia
does have a column header labelled "flag", although its column is empty.
This might mean that all 9 Regional Corporations and 5 Municipalities of
Trinidad and Tobago either have flags or are expected to have.

New version seems to have been produced for the Ministry of Rural
development and Local government.
The flag of Tunapuna-Piarco
photographed in 2017
has a much darker shade of green and a different emblem (different font,
plain green map with black outline).

Flag is a green-white-green vertical triband with the emblem in the center
for Tunapuna-Piarco.
The flag with the same emblem was
photographed in 2010.

New image created to replace ours with a little less blurred emblem
and a little darker shade of green.
