Multiple large flags on overbridges

Reported via mobile in the Flyposting (NH) category anonymously at 09:44, Mon 15 September 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8165457.

There are poorly secured flags on a few overbridges at the southern end of the M61. They look large enough to cover a windscreen and liable to come down onto the carriageway

Updates

  • Thank you for contacting National Highways about flags.

    We have passed this to one of our local inspectors to confirm that this is on our property. 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.

    Kind regards

    National Highways
