🚨 VANDALISM OF FLAG POLES
I'm disappointed to report that the Weston super Mare town council flagpoles at both Grove Park and the Italian Gardens have been deliberately vandalised, damaging the mechanisms, and cutting the ropes.
I don't believe it's a coincidence... that's it's pride month and this vandalism has occurred.
When people say 'why do we need to celebrate pride anymore', this targeted intolerance is a stark reminder of why we continue to celebrate pride - intolerance remains and it's not going away any time soon.
The team at the town council alongside the contractor have tried to get these fixed ahead of armed forces and emergency services day, as there were plans to fly one of the armed forces flags from the Italian Gardens.
A temporary fix is possible for the Italian Gardens flag pole which means the armed forces ceremonial flag raising event at the Italian Gardens this evening at 6.30pm will go ahead, but due to the nature of the damage the flag can only stay up temporarily until a permanent repair to the flag pole has taken place.
Unfortunately the damage to the flag pole at Grove Park is significant and a temporary repair is not possible and therefore no flag will fly from this for the foreseeable.
To the individual(s) who cut these down and damaged the mechanisms - you may have hoped to have caused division, but I can guarantee you've achieved the opposite.
