Flags
Sent to Peterborough City Council 3 days, 11 hours, 18 minutes later. Council ref: 8185284.
Flags have been put half way up lamp posts on Bretton way, these are a distraction to drivers due to the height being in line of sight and then flapping around in the wind. This is a health and safety risk.

Thanks for reporting this issue.

Thank you for your report
We are aware of Union Jack and St George's Cross flags continuing to be placed on lampposts across the city, as well as mini roundabouts and road crossings being painted.
The current position is we will not be removing any flags unless they are a clear health and safety risk to the public, however, we are concerned about the risks to those putting flags up at height as well as the safety of motorists and pedestrians.
The painting of roundabouts and road crossings is classed as vandalism and as such we will look to remove these within existing maintenance regimes where possible.
As you have mentioned a health and safety concern the report has been re-assigned to the highway’s maintenance team for their attention. You can also email the team directly on HighwayMaintenance@peterborough.gov.uk quoting the exact location and or your report reference number.
