Overview
- A Reform UK–led administration will install 164 double‑sided Union flag banners across 82 roadside sites spanning all Nottinghamshire districts.
- The council has released the full location list, with sites including approaches to King’s Mill and Bassetlaw hospitals and stretches near workplaces and retail areas.
- Estimated costs run at roughly £457–£475 per banner once brackets, traffic management and cherry pickers are included, with officials citing about £16,000 for banners and £32,000 for brackets.
- Leaders describe the outlay as replacing aging hardware expected to last 10–15 years, with the fixtures intended for future use on Remembrance, Christmas, Nottinghamshire Day and fostering campaigns.
- No formal vote is required, though councillors have five days to lodge objections, while Labour and Conservative figures question the priority of the spend given pressures on core services and a reported special needs funding shortfall.
