Random flags showing up overnight

Reported via mobile in the flags category anonymously at 22:58, Saturday 6 September 2025

FixMyStreet ref: 8129804.

Someone has put up flags on the lamp posts all along Chillingham Crescent (and many other parts of Ashington). It's not a public holiday- This is part of a rascist intimidation 'raise the colours' campaign and I urge you not to let it continue. Bar not wanting to feel like I'm being intimidated in my own home, it's windy and ergo loud.

Asset ID: F95
