Local Residents' England and Union Flags Removed by Council

In Birmingham, the city council is removing England and union flags hung by residents on lampposts, citing safety concerns and ongoing maintenance work as reasons for the action. Locals in Weoley Castle and Northfield had displayed the flags in a show of patriotism, but the council stated that unauthorized attachments pose risks to both pedestrians and motorists. A former police investigator, Hayley Owens, criticized the decision, arguing that the flags enhanced community spirit rather than posed a safety threat. Meanwhile, campaign group Weoley Warriors has launched a fundraiser to support the installation of more flags, raising over £4,000 to boost morale in the area. The council emphasizes that lampposts are engineered for specific loads and warns that excessive weight could lead to structural failure.
