flag Christmas lights in Harrietsham may be canceled due to flags blocking installation, despite safety rules and appeals to remove them.

flag The annual Christmas lights display in Harrietsham, Kent, may be canceled in 2025 because St George’s and Union flags on lampposts along the A20 are blocking installation. flag Kent County Council insists flags must be removed for safety during setup, even if they pose no immediate hazard. flag The parish council says it lacks authority and funding to remove them, as the flags and poles are not council property, and the original contractor can no longer install lights around them due to new safety requirements. flag Despite KCC’s claim that the contractor can remove flags at no extra cost, the parish council says the situation prevents timely installation. flag Residents and officials are urging flag owners to voluntarily take them down to preserve the tradition, with concerns growing over the potential loss of a cherished community event.
