Illegally Hung Flags On Lampposts
Sent to National Highways less than a minute later. FixMyStreet ref: 8312698.
For at least a month, the entirety of Lowestoft Road outside of James Paget Hospital has been covered in illegally hung flags, ranging from the Union Jack, the Welsh flag, the English flag, and the Scottish flag. All are hung on National Highways lampposts. These attachments have no official consent and, critically, they pose a safety risk under National Highways' own safety risk assessment policy (GG 104).

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 / streetlights could pose a danger to motorists on the road below and so may need to be removed for safety reasons.
The Fix-my-Street platform is purely a reporting tool for defects. If you wish to make a follow up enquiry or a complaint:
