Watton calls for tricolours to be removed
PUP councillor Russell Watton says that tricolour flags erected at Pates Lane in Coleraine, should be removed as a ‘matter of ‘urgency.
He told The Times: “I have been contacted by all classes and creeds, from church-goers to pensioners and they cannot understand why the flags were erected in a mixed area.”
The Causeway Coast and Glens councillor claims that the PSNI stood back and watched as the perpetrators put the flags on lampposts the length of Pates Lane.
