Late last week, South Gloucestershire Council announced it would be taking down flags on street furniture, but Bristol City Council is still allowing the flags to remain. Bristol City Council has taken a largely neutral stance on the presence of flags on lampposts in the past six weeks or so. The toys, bearing messages of hope and solidarity and Union flags, were put on lampposts after Union flags and St George flags were removed. Now, Stand Up To Racism has called on Bristol City Council to follow suit. We, the people of Bristol, call upon Bristol City Council to immediately remove the flags hung from lampposts around the city,” the group added.
