Flag query

Reported via desktop in the Obscured by Graffiti category anonymously at 15:41, Mon 1 September 2025

Sent to North Northamptonshire Council less than a minute later. ref: 8103900.

Flags have been mounted on lamp posts near the roundabout in Finedon as part of "Operation Raise the Colours", funded by known far-right extremists. As the landowner, did you give permission for this, and if not, when will they be removed?

    This one is obscuring the 30mph speed limit sign on the approach to Finedon from Irthlingborough. Will you remove it and the rest please? I have already removed one which was within reach, I don't really want to have to take a 5 metre ladder out to do them myself.
