Surely, that's up to the individual businesses who can do whatever they like with their property.

I think the flags are a great addition to the square on a windy day. It's great seeing them all blowing and brightening up the shop fronts.

The flags should come down. Not only are they all upside down, Hebden Bridge is not that kind of town. Unless there is a sporting fixture, or a remembrance of war then they should not be up. It's pandering to the far right and Reform voters which is decidedly not of the town. I'd encourage others, as I have, to put pressure on the shop owners to remove them.

Agreed. The flags need to come down. Sad truth is they have come to represent a strand of faux patriotism that many people in the town find repugnant. I'm happy to tolerate them when they are flown to celebrate a particular event, but the rest of the time they scream of jingoists, Farage and the march of the far right and that is so not Hebden Bridge.
