A petition has been launched for an extra flagpole to go up outside Shropshire Council’s headquarters, so that the Union flag doesn’t have to come down when other flags are being flown.
Currently the council has one flagpole in front of Shirehall, in Abbey Foregate, Shrewsbury, on which the Union flag can be seen flying most days.
“The Union Flag should always be flying and having a second flagpole will facilitate this along with being able to fly other flags for particular reasons.” On St David’s Day, St George’s Day and St Andrew’s Day the national flags of Wales, England and Scotland respectively are flown.
