Capital of East Flanders (5)
I believe the answer is:
ghent
'capital of east flanders' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
This is all the clue.
(Other definitions for ghent that I've seen before include "European city" , "City of northwest Belgium, known for its cloth industry" , "Flanders city/port" , "source of good news" , "Belgian port" .)
