Flag on railings.

Reported via desktop in the Flyposting (NH) category anonymously at 14:58, Sun 31 August 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8098494.

There is a large material flag on the railings above the southbound lane of the M6. There is also another one on the Northbound side which I will report seperately. It is cable tied on, and as it is currently very windy it could easily blow off into the motorway.

Updates

  • Thank you for making your report. We have asked our inspection team to attend this location and assess the issue.

    Safety is our priority, and we do all we can to protect those who use our roads. Items such as flags attached to a bridge could pose a danger to motorists on the road below and so may need to be removed for safety reasons.

    Although we always aim to complete works as quickly as possible, timescales do vary as we try to minimise disruption to customers by combining activities into single closures and always ensuring the safety of our people.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
