Show Your Flags Responsibly

With the World Cup around the corner, West Country councils are cracking down on unauthorized England flags on public property—like lampposts and street signs—in Bristol and South Gloucestershire. While fans are encouraged to show team spirit, the Highways Act of 1980 means no flags on public structures without permission. Officials warn these decorations can block views, create hazards, and damage property, especially near roads and crossings. Councils will remove flags from sensitive areas but are asking residents to report any they spot. It’s about balancing celebration with safety—so hang your flags at home, not on public land.
