Limit flag numbers in Royal Hillsborough
Proposal to limit the size, number, distribution and dates of flags flown from public infrastructure in the village of Royal Hillsborough.
Why is this important?
Hillsborough is well known as a picturesque and historic Georgian village. There's a great atmosphere here with our busy main street shops, cafes, pubs and businesses. We are very lucky to live in such an idyllic and desirable village and we must do everything to protect this.
Every summer for at least six weeks this idyllic village is covered with flags; this damages the villages reputation and is viewed by many from all political persuasions as a cheap and tacky eyesore which is tribal and perhaps even threatening - none of which is in keeping with the welcoming nature of the village we all love living in.
I propose that there needs be to a change to the number, size, distribution and the length of time these flags are flown. We can achieve a satisfactory outcome for all with mutual understanding and mature discussion.
Please support this petition to preserve the beauty and community values of Hillsborough.
