Unauthorised flags

Reported via mobile in the Street lighting other issue category anonymously at 18:58, Saturday 17 January 2026

Sent to Shropshire Council less than a minute later. Council ref: 14194882.

Flags attached to street lights with zip ties have appeared in Hanwood. The association of the flag campaign with far right groups makes me feel threatened and uncomfortable with these symbols in our community. These are not being flown properly and respectfully from public buildings; they are attracted to highway property without the authorisation of the highway authority. Apart from being threatening and making people feel unwelcome they are distracting to motorists. Please remove them.
