Flags: We’re aware that flags are being put up, and St George crosses painted, in Leicestershire and other parts of the country. Although we’re not actively monitoring for issues over our usual inspections, we do have a legal duty to act if safety is compromised. This includes responding to reports that highlight potential risks to public safety.
We’d ask people to follow the Attachments to highway lighting columns guidance, if putting up flags. Also, painting on highway assets is against the law, can be unsafe and causes insurance issues.
Permits: Apply for a licence or permit to place items such as a skip, scaffolding, equipment or to carry out work on roads in Leicestershire.
