Telford & Wrekin - take down your EU flag

I have emailed Telford & Wreking Council today to formall request they remove the illegal EU flag from all public buildings in the borough.
Hi,

I am writing to formally request that the EU flag be removed from all council buildings in the borough and replaced with the cross of St George. I have attached a press release received today from the Metric Martyrs confirming that flying the EU flag on a public building is illegal.

I can confirm that the Cross of St George does not require planning permission as it is officially classified as a national flag and therefore exempt from the Town & Country Planning Act.

Please confirm that you have made arrangements for the immediate removal of the illegally flown EU flag and it's replacement by the English national flag. Should you wish to save money, time and effort and clarify the legal position with your colleagues in Wear Valley District Council who have already done so, their telephone number is 01388 765555 (extension 877).

Thank you,

Stuart Parr
