00:00Walsall Councils proposed a permanent managed flag display at Brown Hills Minor Island after
00:06months of debate over the site's unofficial decorations. The authority wants to remove
00:11the existing flags and install three 6-metre flagpoles for the Union flag, St George's
00:16Cross and Black Country flag, along with smaller poles and banners.
00:21Councillor Adam Hickens says the aim is to balance community pride with safety, maintenance
00:26and wider cohesion. Residents will be consulted before the final design is agreed.
00:32The plans follow mixed reaction to large flag displays installed last September, with supporters
00:37calling them patriotic and critics raising concerns about possible far-right associations.
