Numerous St Georges Flags hung on traffic lights and lampposts around the roundabout
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8146188.
Numerous St Georges flags have been tied to the lampposts surrounding the roundabout on the traffic lights and the lampposts (I noticed this last Sunday - 7th September 2025) - I don't mind flag flying on a private business or private property as that's a personal choice whether I agree with it or not, but someone allowing local people to fly these flags especially with recent protests across the country using the flags for racist intentions may give a bad impression or messaege to road users leading to this roundabout, and it must not have been safe for the people to hang the flags on such a busy roundabout either. So many flags being put up in the same place like this may be a health and safety issue if the flags come loose and fly into the path of cars and if they obscure road signs and it should be investigated and these flags be removed
