A MAN has been interviewed amid efforts to recoup the costs of removing flags in Exeter that were reattached moments after being removed.

- by BRADLEY GERRARD Local Democracy Reporter

The saga prompted warnings from Devon County Council about the dangers of putting flags on lampposts, and led it to remind residents that attaching items to them is technically an offence.
