Town hall: 'Don't spray St George's flag graffiti'

CHIEFS WARN AGAINST PUTTING CROSS ON PUBLIC PROPERTY

- By CHARLOTTE HALL Local Democracy Reporting Service

A TOWN hall has issued a warning to residents not to paint the St George’s flag on public property.

The warning comes after the symbol has appeared in several locations around Greater Manchester, including on a roundabout in Fitton Hill in Oldham.

Three roundabouts in Trafford and road junctions in Sale were also modified with a red cross to resemble the flag.

Oldham council has warned against graffiti in the borough, especially on road markings where they could pose a danger to motorists and pedestrians.
