St. George Flags, after the County Council run by the Reform UK, is ready to live on a lamppost in Vester Seshire, confirming that there was no plan to remove them.
It follows a line in the neighboring Birmingham in which the Labor -led authority removed the flag emerged within the road scene, citing security concerns.
The move criticized some residents and improved the UK at the national level. The flags appeared on a series of lampposts, across the border, crossing the border.
The National Party on Monday evening confirmed that its councils would leave the “patriotic flags”, as they were, along with the Vestersire County Council – a minority administration – adopting the stance.
Earlier on Monday, the authority issued a statement, stating that “Deepak pillars on the highway should not attach anything to them, unless the council agrees”. This, the council said, to ensure that there is no risk to visibility, or proper functioning of lighting, or the safety of passers and motor drivers along with the objects attaching those items.
Following the National Party’s comments, the council’s highway lead said on Tuesday that flags would remain, and a fresh security message was issued.
The cabinet member of the council for highway Carl Perks said, “There are many ways that people can show their pride by flying the flag of St. George – in front and back gardens, on your cars, in your windows and community buildings, where the whole community agreed.”
“Climbing lamppost and attaching flags can not be the best thing, mostly because it is dangerous and can cause damage. There is no specific plan to remove the flag.”
Apart from Bromsgrove, including Hollywood, Vithaol and Worster, flags have appeared in other areas of Vastershire.
Council leader Joan Monk said: “In Vestershair, we are proud of our English and British identity.
“I certainly support blowing both flags across the county. Our national flags are a symbol of our national pride, and I will make our nation celebrated efforts to champion.”
However, a council spokesperson stated that the mini-roundabouts at the Bromsgrove Town Center were depicted with the red cross, addressing by the maintenance staff.
This may cause disappointment among some residents who told the BBC that they have approved the symbols, called them a symbol of national pride.
Terry Johns, a resident of 71 -year -old Bromsgrove, said: “I think it’s fantastic – all the islands should be so.
Another resident said: “I like it a lot, I definitely don’t find it aggressive.”
But also from Paul Neil, Bromsgrove, said: “This is a nuisance – the services of the council. It is really to roam to clean it?
“It is also distracting for drivers. I don’t see which point they are trying to make.”
A woman who wishes not to name, said: “I have nothing against any flag, but it is not about pride for me – I find it unpleasant.”
In terms of roundabout paint, a council spokesperson said: “All road markings on the county’s highway network are strictly regulated for safety, including any size roundabouts.
“Road marks agreed by the approved contractors to suit these rules should not be changed.
“Anocratic action on highway networks may be distracted or some road users may create confusion so it will be removed.”
‘Embarrassing’
In recent weeks in Birmingham, the Union and Cross of St. George Flags have been hung in the city’s Woli Castle and Northfield regions, stating that it was done as an act of patriotism.
The city council said About 200 banners were removed While engineers worked to upgrade street lighting. It states that “unauthorized objects” on the lamppost can not only give the lives of those who put furniture at risk, but also of motorists and pedestrians.
But the residents reacted with a mixture of anger and confusion on local social media groups, with many councils with the objectives.
A spokesperson of the National Reform UK Party said on Monday evening, “All 12 reforms across the country have said that they will not remove the union and St. George Cross flag from the lamppost.”
He added the move “Both Tower Hamlets Council and Labor-controlled Birmingham City Council embarrassedly embarrassed the patriotic flag hanging from the lamppost”.
The leader of the reform UK Nigel Faraj MP said: “The flag of the Sangh and the cross of St. George should fly across the country. The reform UK will never hesitate to celebrate our nation.”
After the expulsion under Tower Hamlets and Birmingham, the official spokesperson of the Prime Minister, when asked to comment on the approach to Sir Kir Stmper’s works, said: “I think the PM has always talked about her pride of being British, and patriotic feels.
“Patriotism will always be an important thing for him.”
Asked if the Prime Minister has approved to place English flags, his spokesperson said: “Absolutely, patriotism, English flags. We put English flags around Downing Street every time.
