However, residents are urged to put safety first and avoid climbing lamp posts or other tall structures to display flags, as this puts them at risk of serious injury.
Flags that obstruct essential infrastructure will be removed. This includes those blocking CCTV cameras, interfering with road signage or otherwise affecting the safe operation of the road network.
“Flags will be removed if they are in any way putting people’s safety at risk.”
KCC Cabinet Member for Highways and Transport, Peter Osborne, said: "We understand that people wish to express their support for their country, but we must use common sense.
“Flags will be removed if they are in any way putting people at risk.”
Displaying any flag requires permission from the owner of the site on which it is placed, including the Highway Authority where this relates to highway land.
Any incidents involving trespass, inappropriate or offensive behaviour or messaging will be reported to the appropriate authorities.
