What is the law around flying flags?
Helpfully, the government has a guide on its website – a "plain English" guide to flying flags, external.It states flags are a "very British way of expressing joy and pride" which are "emotive symbols which can boost local and national identities, strengthen community cohesion and mark civic pride".
It also states the government "wants to see more flags flown, particularly the Union Flag, the flag of the United Kingdom - it is a symbol of national unity and pride".
In England, council legislation treats the flying of flags as an advertisement. This is to ensure they do not impact on safety and are flown in a convenient location.
Some flags require formal consent from the local planning authority but, crucially, the union jack and the St George's flag do not.
A key aspect to the current debate is also covered in the government's guide. It says all flags must "have the permission of the owner of the site on which they are displayed - this includes the highway authority if the sign is to be placed on highway land".
The Highways Act 1980 states it is an offence to affix items to structures on the highway without the consent of the highway authority, without reasonable excuse.
Section 132(2) of the act states the highway authority can remove any such items.
The government want to see more union flags flying, hence why the new proposals for the correct signage ones placed correctly and safely!!!
I do like The Union Jack. A very distinctive saltire. I've never been able to draw it properly though.

Palestinian, he wants to see our union flag replaced by it.
Nice retrospective C&P but does not back up this billy bull in any way...
Just billy fantasy.
Why?
Why would you need to draw it?
We all had to make flags at school celebrating the Queens Jubilee back in the '70's.

Explain what you think is a lie, not that it affects me at all, I am just telling what is going to happen. You don't like it, tough it isn't your decision and I told you that you was an old dinosaur that hasn't got a patriotic bone in your body, now go count your money and tell us how much more you have than Trump. Troll.
