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 this guidance for putting up flags on street lighting columns.
Painting on highway assets is against the law, can be unsafe and causes insurance issues.
