Flags attached to lamp posts
Sent to Northumberland County Council 7 months, 1 week, 6 days, 12 hours, 26 minutes later. FixMyStreet ref: 8235564.
As you are already aware there are 5 union flags attached to lamp posts around the roundabout at the bottom of fountain head bank. These haven't been put up to celebrate being British, they are there to offend any foreigners in the area and as such I class it as a hate crime. I can't understand why it is taking so long to remove them and all the others along this stretch of road from Blyth.
