In Bristol, some residents resume displaying St George’s Cross flags on streets after Bristol City Council reportedly asked people not to attach flags to lampposts or public signs. According to reports, residents were told they could display the flag only in their homes rather than on the street. One account attributes the council’s request to concerns that public flags could intimidate migrants, while another describes the reason as health and safety. Both accounts state that the guidance came from the council and that families were advised against fixing the flags to street fixtures or attaching them to signs. The reports describe flags being displayed again on a street presented as particularly “patriotic,” after the council’s instructions. The coverage does not include details on enforcement actions or whether any complaints were made, but it frames the dispute as over where and how the England flag is displayed in public spaces. The reports also indicate the council’s position centered on limiting street attachments to prevent perceived issues, with differing explanations cited in the articles.
