Flags on lamp posts - very large and distracting drivers

Reported via mobile in the Flyposting (NH) category anonymously at 19:53, Sun 7 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8132880.

A number of very large flags have been put very high on a number of lamp posts along the A5 in Grendon & Dordon. These are very distracting to road users and also affecting the lighting spread upon the road. As this is an A road under the control of National Highways and very busy they should be removed for safety reasons.
