“Does the council have a published policy covering the unauthorised flying of flags on local authority street furniture?” he asked. Victoria Holloway, cabinet member for place and the environment, replied simply: “No.”Mr Maney said while many residents had welcomed the appearance of St George’s flags last summer, the condition of the flags had deteriorated dramatically over the winter. “They are no longer flags,” he said. “If they are going to cause a problem to the highway, please report them to the council,” she said. “What we’re asking for is leadership.”Ms Holloway said the council would monitor the situation.
