Illegally hung flags

Reported via mobile in the Flyposting (NH) category anonymously at 17:27, Wed 1 October 2025

Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8239854.

At least 10 flags have been hung illegally from lampposts outside the James Paget Hospital on the main road. These go against the government code for flying the Union Jack, and pose distraction for drivers.

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
